Trade Review

"In this excellent, innovative, nuanced, and empirically rich work, Rivas examines transnational exchanges, profound and rapid social change, and maps a geography of marginalization in a nation without borders."

-- Cecilia Menjívar * author of Enduring Violence: Ladina Women’s Lives in Guatemala *
"In this landmark study of postwar Salvadoran transnationalism, Cecilia M. Rivas illuminates with profound insight and interpretive power the world-making imaginary of Salvadoran migrants and their aspirations to construct a borderless nation." -- Alicia Schmidt Camacho * Yale University *
