The U.S.-Mexico Border:

"This volume implicitly represents a challenge to traditional border studies and invites borderland scholars to expand the scope of this multidisciplinary area to include discussions of metaphorical borders as well as material ones.... [It] constitutes an important contribution to border studies."—Journal of Borderlands Studies

"This exciting and thoughtful study brought the 'border' to life for me in new and provocative ways. Paying attention to both systems and subjects.... it represents a vital contribution to postcolonial analysis of the U.S.-Mexico border."—Gay Young
