Abstract	The swap-meet is more than a place to find a good bargain on antiques and used junk. The swap-meet is an important economic resource for entrepreneurial immigrant families who make a living from it. More than anything, it is an important cultural and social institution for the Latino community in a time of growing xenophobia and anti-immigrant sentiment in the United States. These families make the swap-meet thrive and their stories are told below.
