Recent decades have seen unprecedented migration into cities and across national borders amid expansion and dislocations of a globalized political and economic system. Mesoamerica has long been a primary region of migration. Millions of people are currently on the…
Introduction: Mesoamerican/North American Partnerships for Community Wellbeing
Margaret Mead was fond of saying that when speaking about another culture, it would be wise to imagine that someone from that culture was standing next to us.

The Sanctuary Movement and Central American Activism in Los Angeles
The Sanctuary movement of the 1980s combined religious faith and social activism to provide refuge for Central Americans fleeing violence and persecution and to raise awareness of the responsibility associated with U.S. policy in the region. Features of the Los Angeles area, such as its large Latino population, provided support and a sense of community; in this sense the city itself was a sanctuary. The presence of many Central Americans who brou…

Rapid change in height and body proportions of Maya American children
Maya families from Guatemala migrated to the United States in record numbers from the late 1970s to the early 1990s. Births to Maya immigrant women have created a sizable number of Maya American children. The height and sitting height of 5 to 12 years children (n = 431) were measured in 1999 and 2000. Leg length was estimated and the sitting height ratio was calculated. These data were compared with a sample of Maya children living in Guatemala m…

Plasticity, political economy, and physical growth status of Guatemala Maya children living in the United States

Introduction: North American Integration: Paradoxes and Prospects
In the wake of the American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), considerable attention is being paid today to the social, economic, and political landscape of America. With the rapid growth of north-south commerce, information transfers, capital flows, human migrations, and environmental networks, the process of continental integration is accelerating. Associated with this process is increased permeability of national boundaries--what Ivo Duchacek has …

Opportunities to utilize extensively women's and children's labor are among the components of rope …
