Résumé : The timely interrogation of US-Mexico borderlands holds particular currency where the racialized rhetoric and sexualized violence of the current body politic of the US government is concerned. What with caged Mexican children, privatized US Immigration detention centers, migrant detainee deaths and human rights abuses, and associated patterns of political graft and corruption, the paroxysm of racialized forms of state-sanctioned social violence in the borderlands has morphed into something largely unforeseen a few years ago. Hernández (San Diego State) has produced a stunningly brilliant call to action and an intellectually vibrant interdisciplinary interrogation of the origins, nature, and extent of borderlands violence. Drawing on an interpretive schema centered on coloniality as opposed to colonialism, Hernández dissects and deconstructs the colonial and frontier origins of that deeply ingrained corpus of dehumanizing violence(s) born of an epistemic of racialized and sexualized cultural and sociopolitical constructs. This he contends is the product of “the cartographic prison of modernity/coloniality” born of those colonial systems of racialized/sexualized violence that persist, sans the institutions that originally spawned and propagated their proliferation within the contemporary interstate system of racialized Indigenous oppression and surveillance. - Note de l'éditeur

Résumé : uárez is no ordinary city. Its history is exhilarating and tragic. Part of the state of Chihuahua and located on the border with the United States opposite El Paso, Texas, Juárez has often captured the world’s attention in dramatic fashion. In Ciudad Juárez: Saga of a Legendary Border City, Oscar J. Martínez provides a historical overview of the economic and social evolution of this famous transnational urban center from the 1848 creation of the international boundary between Mexico and the United States to the present, emphasizing the city’s deep ties to the United States. Martínez also explores major aspects of the social history of the city, including cross-border migration, urbanization, population growth, living standards, conditions among the city’s workers, crime, and the circumstances that led to the horrendous violence that catapulted Juárez to the top rung of the world’s most violent urban areas in the early twenty-first century. In countless ways, the history of Juárez is the history of the entire Mexican northern frontier. Understanding how the city evolved provides a greater appreciation for the formidable challenges faced by Mexican fronterizos, and yields vital insights into the functioning of borderland regions around the world. - Note de l'éditeur

Résumé : Sex, drugs, religion, and love are potent combinations in la zona, a regulated prostitution zone in the city of Reynosa, across the border from Hidalgo, Texas. During the years 2008 and 2009, a time of intense drug violence, Sarah Luna met and built relationships with two kinds of migrants, women who moved from rural Mexico to Reynosa to become sex workers and American missionaries who moved from the United States to forge a fellowship with those workers. Luna examines the entanglements, both intimate and financial, that define their lives. Using the concept of obligar, she delves into the connections that tie sex workers to their families, their clients, their pimps, the missionaries, and the drug dealers—and to the guilt, power, and comfort of faith. Love in the Drug War scrutinizes not only la zona and the people who work to survive there, but also Reynosa itself—including the influences of the United States—adding nuance and new understanding to the current Mexico-US border crisis. - Note de l'éditeur

Résumé : This is the untold history of the United States Border Patrol from its beginnings in 1924 as a small peripheral outfit to its emergence as a large professional police force. To tell this story, Kelly Lytle Hernández dug through a gold mine of lost and unseen records stored in garages, closets, an abandoned factory, and in U.S. and Mexican archives. Focusing on the daily challenges of policing the borderlands and bringing to light unexpected partners and forgotten dynamics, she reveals how the U.S. Border Patrol translated the mandate for comprehensive migration control into a project of policing Mexicans in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands. - Note de l'éditeur
