Globalization on the Line - Culture, Capital and Citizenship at U.S.Borders (Hardcover, 1st ed)

This interdisciplinary collection draws together essays on the cultural effects of globalization at the U.S.-Mexico and U.S.-Canada borders. Artists, activists, and scholars from American Studies, anthropology, Chicano studies, English, folklore, history, and political science examine a wide range of cultural practices in border areas, including cross-border shopping, migration, and transnational media spectatorship. Contributors focus on a variety of border crossers and residents, such as Mexican migrants in the U.S. Southwest, indigenous peoples in the Lake Ontario region, undocumented Chinese immigrants at the U.S.-Canada border, environmental groups in Arizona, NAFTA-displaced women workers in Texas, squatter communities in Baja California, and maquiladora workers in Chihuahua.
