Nevertheless, over the past century the number of Mexicans and Mexican Americans settling in Michigan has increased dramatically, and today Michigan is undergoing its third \"great wave\" of Mexican immigration into the state. Though many Mexican and Mexican American immigrants still come to Michigan seeking work on farms, many others now come seeking work in manufacturing and construction, college educations, opportunities to start businesses, and to join family members already established in the state. In \u003cem\u003eMexicans and Mexican Americans in Michigan\u003c\/em\u003e Rudolph Valier Alvarado and Sonya Yvette Alvarado examine the settlement trends and growth of this population, as well as the cultural and social impact that the state and these immigrants have had on one another. The story of Mexicans and Mexican Americans in Michigan is one of steadily increasing presence and influence that well illustrates how peoples and places combine to create traditions and institutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRudolph Valier Alvarado and Sonya Yvette Alvarado\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2003, 5.5\" x 8.5\", paper, 96 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780870136665\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e111-A3666\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43465669509238,"sku":"111-A3666","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/111-a3666-1500px.png?v=1780756751","url":"https:\/\/heritagebooks.com\/products\/111-a3666","provider":"Heritage Books, Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
