Review:
"First-rate reporting on an important, controversial subject."
Kirkus, 08/01/2001
Review:"It is an intimate and tender story of family ties, the survival of traditions and an up-close travel narrative of how brutal and miraculous illegal immigration can be."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review, 11/11/2001

Book Description: St Martin's Press, United States, 2002. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Reprint. 203 x 133 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery ***** Print on Demand *****. The U.S.-Mexican border is one of the most permeable boundaries in the world, breached daily by Mexicans in search of work. Thousands die crossing the line and those who reach "the other side" are branded illegals, undocumented and unprotected. "Crossing Over" puts a human face on the phenomenon, following the exodus of the Chavez clan, an extended Mexican family who lost three sons in a tragic border accident. Martinez follows the migrants' progress from their small southern Mexican town of Cheran to California, Wisconsin, and Missouri where far from joining the melting pot, Martinez argues, the seven million migrants in the U.S. are creating a new culture that will alter both Mexico and the United States as the two countries come increasingly to resemble each other.
