Chicago is home to the second-largest Mexican immigrant population in the US, yet the activities of this community have gone relatively unexamined by both the media and academia. In this groundbreaking new book, Xóchitl Bada takes us inside one of the most vital parts of Chicago's Mexican immigrant community - its many hometown associations. Filled with vivid observations and original interviews, this title gives voice to an under-represented community and sheds light on an under explored form of global activism.
