Exit and Voice is a compelling account of how Mexican migrants with strong ties to their home communities impact the economic and political welfare of the communities they have left behind. In many decentralized democracies like Mexico, migrants have willingly stepped in to supply public goods when local or state government lack the resources or political will to improve the town. Though migrants' cross-border investments often improve citizens' access to essential public goods and create a more responsive local government, their work allows them to unintentionally exert political engagement and power, undermining the influence of those still living in their hometowns. In looking at the paradox of migrants who have left their home to make an impact on it, Exit and Voice sheds light on how migrant transnational engagement refashions the meaning of community, democratic governance, and practices of citizenship in the era of globalization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"[Duquette-Rury] situates Mexico within an international context by arguing that citizenship can become “decoupled” from actual residence in a community—Recommended.\" * CHOICE *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"In the end, \u003ci\u003eExit and Voice\u003c\/i\u003e is to be commended for putting substance into the consequences of hometown associations beyond studies that focus more specifically on development. . . .\u003ci\u003e Exit and Voice\u003c\/i\u003e enhances our understanding of how migrants engage from abroad and the political consequences of that engagement.\"\u003c\/p\u003e * American Journal of Sociology *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e List of Illustrations \u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Introduction \u003cbr\u003e 1.
