In the years since, Fink remained in touch with many of the people he profiled in the book, and in 2022 he returned to Morganton to interview them and talk with their children, new migrants in the area, and community leaders, particularly women. Their conversations covered a wide range of topics, including labor struggles and victories, grassroots and electoral political organizing, social activism (especially on issues affecting undocumented migrants), class mobility for second-generation migrants, and new cooperative worker-owned institutions, including a bookstore, a textile factory, and a preschool. This revised and expanded edition of The Maya of Morganton reveals what Fink found on his return to Morganton, documenting two decades of continuity and change in a new preface and chapter. Together with the original material, the book presents a comprehensive yet intimate examination of the migrant experience in western North Carolina.Country/Region of Manufacture: USGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social Sciences, History, Business & Finance, Law & Politics, Home Garden & PetsRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
