During the nineteenth century, the transpacific world underwent profound transformation, due to the transition from sail to steam navigation that was accompanied by a concomitant reconfiguration of power. This book explores the ways in which diverse Mexican, British, Chinese, and Japanese interests participated, particularly during Porfirio Díaz’s presidency at the peak of Mexico’s participation in the steam network: from its 1860s outset through a time of many revolutionary changes ending with the World War, the Mexican Revolution, the opening of the Panama Canal, and the introduction of a new maritime technology based on vessels run by oil. These transoceanic exchanges, generated within these new geographies of power, contributed not only to the formation of a transpacific region but also to refashioning the Mexican national imaginary. With transnationalism, global and migration studies as its main framework, this study draws upon a dazzling array of primary sources to center Mexico’

Blending documentary and conceptual photography, de Middel's account of migrants traveling to California brings the plight of immigration into harsh reliefCristina de Middel (born 1975), the first Spanish head of Magnum Photos, has been traveling for years with Mexican migrants on the train they call "the beast" interviewing sicarios (hired killers) and talking for hours with "coyotes" (clandestine smugglers) and police officers. She combines her own photographs with objects found in the desert and archival footage, creating a multi-layered narrative that evokes the hardships and dangers of searching for a better life. The journey begins in Tapachula, a city on the southern border of Mexico with Guatemala, and ends in Felicity, a small town in California dubbed the "Center of the World." This saga is punctuated by the accounts of three migrants recounting their crossing, as well as a commentary by the artist. An afterword by Mexican journalist Pedro Anza illuminates the issues at stake
