Alexandra Délano Alonso is Associate Professor of Global Studies at The New School and the current holder of the Eugene M. Lang Professorship for Excellence in Teaching and Mentoring. Her work is driven by a concern with the inequalities underlying the causes of migration, the structures that lead to the marginalization of undocumented migrants in the public sphere, and the limited protection of their rights, from a transnational perspective. Her book Mexico and Its Diaspora in the United States: Policies of Emigration since 1848 was the co-winner of the William LeoGrande Prize for the best book on US-Latin America Relations.

All in all, this book shows evidence of how states of origin can have a positive influence on the integration of their citizens living in other countries. Thus, it is a highly recommendable read for policy-makers involved in the formulation of integration and diaspora policies; academic colleagues interested in the study of transnationalism, citizenship and integration policies; and for migrants themselves, the book's main protagonist, since they will surely be inspired to find new ways of organizing and new areas of mobilization.
