Grounded in ethnographic fieldwork conducted in the adjacent towns of Boca Chica and Andr s, Gregory's study deftly demonstrates how transnational flows of capital, culture, and people are mediated by contextually specific power relations, politics, and history. He explores such topics as the informal economy, the making of a telenova, sex tourism, and racism and discrimination against Haitians, who occupy the lowest rung on the Dominican economic ladder. Innovative, beautifully written, and now updated with a new preface, \u003ci\u003eThe Devil behind the Mirror\u003c\/i\u003e masterfully situates the analysis of global economic change in everyday lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSteven Gregory\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Anthropology and African-American Studies at Columbia University.
