To discover what becomes of Mexicans who cross into the United States without a visa, acclaimed author and journalist Ted Conover traveled and worked alongside them for more than a year. This is the chronicle of his journey.

"Absorbing...Sharply obseverd and sympathetic."—The New York Times

“Ted Conover has written a book about the Mexican poor that is at once intimate and epic. Coyotes is travel literature, social protest, and affirmation. I can compare this book to the best of George Orwell’s journeys to the heart of poverty.” —Richard Rodriguez, author of Brown and Hunger of Memory
