Latino Migrants in the Jewish State: Undocumented Lives in Isreal. BARAK KALIR: Bloomington and Indianapolis: Indiana University Press, 2010.

Abstract

This is a fascinating ethnographic study, documenting the lives of some 12 thousand undocumented migrants who reached Israel in the mid-1990s from various Latin American countries. Of special importance is the effort to analyze the full circle of this migration flow. The book is based on extensive field work among these migrants in Israel, as well as among returnees, deportees, and potential migrants in Ecuador.
