This talk explores the relationship between Mexican migrants' cross-border movement and their diminished capacity to belong in local and national spaces—what migrants themselves described as being “neither from here nor from there”.  It focuses on the years between 1965 and 1986, when Mexican migrants went from being a population that was pushed out of all the places they resided and pressed to engage in circular migration, to one that felt trapped and pressured to settle permanently in the United States.
