Even the Women Are Leaving - Migrants Making Mexican America, 18901965

“Even the Women Are Leaving provides a unique, significant, and rich contribution to the larger field of immigration. There are many writings on immigration but few have attempted, as this book does, to incorporate a more full story of family migration. This book is even more rare in retelling the history of migration through the lens of women’s migration experiences.” ⎯Sonia Hernández, author of For a Just and Better World: Engendering Anarchism in the Mexican Borderlands, 1900–1938

“Larisa Veloz successfully recovers the multiple voices and experiences of Mexican women and children and also families that crossed the US-Mexico border. The intricate and intimate discussion of binational lives and mixed-status families, circular migrations, returns, and deportations are unique contributions. Tremendously timely, Even the Women Are Leaving contextualizes the (sad and cruel) long story of family separation, and the importance of family reunification."⎯Sandra C. Mendiola García, author of Street Democracy: Vendors, Violence, and Public Space in Late Twentieth-Century Mexico

"Even the Women Are Leaving is an important contribution—fabulously illustrative and well researched.”⏤Susie Porter, Professor of History and Gender Studies, University of Utah
