Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Von der hinteren Coverseite

"A stellar collection of essays by top scholars from both nations, The Trump Paradox: Migration, Trade, and Racial Politics in US-Mexico Relations is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the true connections between these two countries. Chapter after chapter, the book debunks myths, sheds new light on the dynamics of migration and trade, and shows how the evidence differs from President Trump´s polarizing narrative."—Nora Lustig, Samuel Z. Stone Professor of Latin American Economics and Founding Director, Commitment to Equity Institute, Tulane University 

"Immigration and trade are two longstanding key components of the relationship between Mexico and the US. The Trump Paradox offers valuable analysis that helps separate facts from political discourse and also understand the dynamics of immigration and trade under the Trump presidency. The migration phenomenon in particular will continue to be a source of tension until a better way to manage it is achieved. The book makes a great contribution towards this goal."—Gerónimo Gutiérrez Fernández, former Ambassador of Mexico and former Director of the North American Development Bank

"The Trump Paradox distills and evaporates a number of myths about the US-Mexico relationship. The paradox itself is the negative correlation between Trump supporters and the presence of Mexican immigrants and trade with Mexico. The relationship between the US and Mexico requires a saner immigration and trade policy than the one we have. The writers in The Trump Paradox help point us to a better way."—Janet Napolitano, President Emerita, University of California

"Brings a plethora of fresh evidence to understand the US-Mexico relationship, particularly around immigration and trade debates that were central to Donald Trump’s election victory in 2016, which will also remain pressing issues into the foreseeable future. Several of the chapters stand out as must-reads for scholars and students alike."—David Scott FitzGerald, author of Refuge beyond Reach: How Rich Democracies Repel Asylum Seekers

"The volume is a timely analysis of the Trump administration’s immigration and trade policies, and the public response—which the editors present as paradoxical on many different fronts. The chapters represent an impressive range of methodological and theoretical traditions, authored by a much-needed binational and interdisciplinary mix of leading migration scholars."—Shannon Gleeson, Cornell University
