Anthropologists; historians; and sociologists will find here a striking challenge to accepted explanations of the northward movement of migrants from Mexico into the United States. Alvarez investigates the life histories of pioneer migrants and their offspring; finding a human dimension to migration which centers on the family. Spanish; American; and English exploits paved the way for exchange between Baja and Alta California. Alvarez shows how cultural stability actually increased as migrants settled in new locations; bringing their common values and memories with them.
