  Drawing on her research of the Mixtec Indians' migration from the southwest of Mexico to Baja California, the author shows that sometimes the push for indigenous labels is more a process of external oppression than it is of minority empowerment. This book is useful to scholars working in the fields of sociology, anthropology, and ethnic studies.
