Sociology faculty member Ronald L. Mize's book "Consuming Mexican Labor: From the Bracero Program to NAFTA" has received glowing reviews from a number of recognized scholars. Comparative race historian Neil Foley provided a flattering assessment in the Pacific Historical Review, saying "the real strength of this work ... is the attention given to the growing dispersal of Mexican laborers in the last few decades from the American West to the Midwest ‘‘heartland’’ (Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, Kansas, and so on), the hinterlands of the Northeast (especially non-metropolitan New York), the Northwest, and, most importantly, the South, where the greatest demographic changes have taken place. Mize's book, co-authored with Alicia C.S. Swords, is available on Amazon.
