In the years since, Fink remained in touch with many of the people he profiled in the book, and in 2022 he returned to Morganton to interview them and talk with their children, new migrants in the area, and community leaders, particularly women. Their conversations covered a wide range of topics, including labor struggles and victories, grassroots and electoral political organizing, social activism (especially on issues affecting undocumented migrants), class mobility for second-generation migrants, and new cooperative worker-owned institutions, including a bookstore, a textile factory, and a preschool.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis revised and expanded edition of \u003ci\u003eThe Maya of Morganton\u003c\/i\u003e reveals what Fink found on his return to Morganton, documenting two decades of continuity and change in a new preface and chapter.
