Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Santa Barbara, 1998.

This dissertation examines the working and living conditions of a group of Mexican immigrant workers and families in a low-income barrio in the city of San Jose, the capital of the Silicon Valley in Northern California. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, the study seeks to understand the experiences of recent Mexican immigrants who have been incorporated as a segment of low-income workers in the restructured U.S. economy. My goal is to portray the experiences of these immigrant workers and their families in their own terms, and to link such experiences to the broader economic, social, and political changes that have incorporated them as an important but segregated segment of the labor force in the new economy.

520 $a This dissertation examines the working and living conditions of a group of Mexican immigrant workers and families in a low-income barrio in the city of San Jose, the capital of the Silicon Valley in Northern California. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, the study seeks to understand the experiences of recent Mexican immigrants who have been incorporated as a segment of low-income workers in the restructured U.S. economy. My goal is to portray the experiences of these immigrant workers and their families in their own terms, and to link such experiences to the broader economic, social, and political changes that have incorporated them as an important but segregated segment of the labor force in the new economy.
520 $a The bulk of the information used in this study was gathered through participant observation. The study focuses on three major realms of immigrants' lives: work, the household, and the local community. The study of these three spheres allow us to more readily observe and interpret the forms in which they have been brought into the labor force in the restructured capitalist economy. Rather than a snapshot of the barrio and its residents, the study tries to capture the processes of change, stress, and instability that characterize the lives of many immigrant workers and families in the new economy.
520 $a I argue that Mexican immigrants in San Jose constitute an army of subproletarian workers, laborers who despite being fully incorporated into the labor market live on the edge of poverty because of their institutional segregation as workers and community residents in the larger politico-economic structure. I maintain that the study of how these structural politico-economic forces affect the ordinary lives of immigrant workers, and of the specific forms in which the latter respond to them, is essential to understanding the maintenance and reproduction of immigrant labor in the restructured economy. I also argue that the consolidation of immigrants as an important segment of the working class in the core of a region like the Silicon Valley illustrates critical changes in the capital-labor relationship in the new economy.
