"Thirty years after the first mile of border walls was constructed in the San Diego-Tijuana region, this volume invites readers to reflect on how the border has evolved and what durable impacts came from these initial fourteen miles of border walls-and the 1,940 miles constructed since"--

Abstract

Follows a family of laborers and peasants who work the land that makes up the border between Tamaulipas and Texas and their economic struggles despite the prosperity within the region Indagar sobre el origen personal es abrir una puerta a muchas preguntas, a silencios y respuestas impensadas que aveces terminan por ser un reves de la memoria. En Autobiografia del algodon, Cristina Rivera Garza sigue con curiosidad y asombro los pasos de aquellos hombres y mujeres que habitan su pasado familiar, obreros, campesinos que trabajaron la tierra que ahora conforma la frontera entre Tamaulipas y Texas, una region que alcanzo un alto nivel economico, social y cultural gracias al sistema de siembra del algodon. Es asi que esta novela es, ademas de intima, un reencuentro con el territorio. O un desencuentro, debido a la migracion, deportacion, expulsion y repatriacion de aquellos campesinos algodoneros, que tras el fracaso del sistema, dejaron libre su espacio, antes simbolo de progreso, hoy ocupado por la llamada guerra contra el narco

Abstract

From the boundary survey of the 1850s to the ever-expanding fences and highway networks of the twenty-first century, Border Land, Border Water examines the history of the construction projects that have shaped the region where the United States and Mexico meet. Tracing the accretion of ports of entry, boundary markers, transportation networks, fences and barriers, surveillance infrastructure, and dams and other river engineering projects, C.J. Alvarez advances a broad chronological narrative that captures the full life cycle of border building. He explains how initial ground-breaking in the nineteenth century transitioned to unbridled faith in the capacity to control the movement of people, goods, and water through the use of physical structures. By the 1960s, however, the built environment of the border began to display increasingly obvious systemic flaws. More often than not, Alvarez shows, federal agencies in both countries responded with more construction--"compensatory building" designed to mitigate unsustainable policies relating to immigration, black markets, and the natural world. Border Land, Border Water reframes our understanding of how the border has come to look and function as it does and is essential to current debates about the future of the US-Mexico divide. -- Dust jacket flap

Abstract

Literary Nonfiction. Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. LGBT Studies. Fourth Edition. Rooted in Gloria Anzaldúa's experience as a Chicana, a lesbian, an activist, and a writer, the essays and poems in this volume profoundly challenged, and continue to challenge, how we think about identity. BORDERLANDS/LA FRONTERA remaps our understanding of what a "border" is, presenting it not as a simple divide between here and there, us and them, but as a psychic, social, and cultural terrain that we inhabit, and that inhabits all of us. This twenty-fifth anniversary edition features a new introduction by scholars Norma Cantú (University of Texas at San Antonio) and Aída Hurtado (University of California at Santa Cruz) as well as a revised critical bibliography.

Abstract

À l’image du mur de Trump ou du renforcement des frontières européennes, de plus en plus d’États militarisent leurs frontières au moyen de murs à l’efficacité discutable. Pour expliquer cette obsession globale, il est utile de revenir sur les controverses qui banalisent ces outils militaires à partir de deux matrices de la sécurité frontalière contemporaine, à savoir la « barrière de sécurité » israélienne en Cisjordanie et la « barrière frontalière » états-unienne à la frontière mexicaine. Les murs s’inscrivent dans un spectacle politique, destiné aux citoyens emmurés, et joué par des acteurs conservateurs, sécuritaires et xénophobes. Ces acteurs problématisent les mobilités, développent une expertise sécuritaire, et attaquent l’État pour mieux le forcer à agir. Fondé sur deux enquêtes en immersion auprès d’eux, ce livre entend dépasser la thèse des murs comme signe du déclin de la souveraineté étatique dans le monde globalisé pour mieux souligner comment la répétition de ces spectacles renforce le militarisme des sociétés au détriment d’autres approches humanitaires, juridiques ou économiques des mobilités

Abstract

Theory of the Border offers a new and unique theoretical framework for understanding one of the most central social phenomena of our time: borders. Applying his original movement-oriented theoretical framework, Thomas Nail pioneers a new methodology of ""critical limology,"" that provides fresh tools for the analysis of contemporary border politics.
