About This Item
403 pages including bibliography and index. Octavo (9" x 6 1/4") bound in original paper with white lettering to cover and spine. Originally published in English in 2006.
For 15 years, Marcia Farr studied ranchers -- a transnational community of families who were filed simultaneously in the city of Chicago and their hometown in Michoacán, Mexico. In this ethno-linguistic representation, Marcia Farr examines three outstanding representative styles of speech that characterizes ranchers: openness (speech sincere, frank and direct), respect (speech and respectful deference); and relaxation (humorous artistic language that allows verbal criticism of the social order maintained through respect). The author studies the construction of local identity in everyday conversations within a community and provides the reader with an extensive analysis of language and identity among transnational Mexicans.
Besides raising awareness of the history of ranchers in Mexico for the first time in the English version for an American audience, the author presents a comprehensive analysis of everyday speech, informal interviews, and archival research, this work results in an innovative perspective for the lives of ranchers, especially, and presents the reader with an introspective experience themselves.
