Abstract
This chapter observes that men went to great lengths to claim their place in the Mexican nation, anchored in their newly acquired position as modern subjects. It notes that Braceros' encounters with Mexican border guards and others, such as family and friends, once they returned home reveal the realms that men sought to modernize and for which they sought recognition as modern citizens, as well as those spaces off-limits from this modernizing transformation: the domestic. The chapter points out that men struggled to accomplish their own particular goals for the program, struggles that opened up certain alignments and closed off others in ways that brought about a transnational subjectivity.
