Description:
"Master's thesis examines relationship between border politics, migratory flows, and coffee plantations in Soconusco region of Chiapas. Views migration as consequence of oppression of indigenous communities in Guatemala as well as of structural need for labor force in coffee production. Concludes that ethnic identification and labor market transcend border, although migrants' status as foreigners increases potential for labor exploitation"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
