A book so old and still so timely. Excellent
And now that we are confronted with a 2016 which will be dominated with immigration controversy this book will be more important than ever. ( )

A wonderful and what appears to be very accurate accounting of the life of the Mexican
migrant worker - and the Coyote. Author has a good eye and ear for his subjects. ( )

I highly recommend this book! It was written 20 years ago but don't let that turn you off, the story of undocumented workers and their journey is fascinating and insightful, plus Conover's writing is pitch perfect (not once did he come off as exploitative of the people he met or self congratulatory for having "suffered" through the experience). Reading about real people gives a human side to a political hot topic. It doesn't aim to make political statements, but let you see the other side of the story. Very good. ( )

This book was an amazing glimpse into a lifestyle that many people experience but many more do not understand. ( )
