A1 - Bada, Xóchitl LA - English PP - Piscataway PB - Rutgers University Press YR - 2014 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/jstor_eba_ocn878263252 AB - In this groundbreaking new book, Mexican Hometown Associations in Chicagoacán, Xóchitl Bada reveals how Mexican hometown associations, groups consisting of immigrants from the same small towns, have become a surprisingly powerful force for mobilizing social change in both the United States and Mexico. By giving voice to the members of a group of Chicago-based hometown associations from the state of Michoacán, Xóchitl Bada draws much larger conclusions about the emergence and global impact of new transnational forms of community activism.
