Recent scholarship has evidenced a need to reconsider the history
and literature of the American Southwest. This book speaks to that
challenge and offers a new way to engage literary and cultural
studies to show that in the "bordered frontier" border theory is a
necessary means to deconstructing a frontier mythology still extant
in the Southwest. Whereas most scholarly works yet perpetuate an
academic divide between frontier mythogenesis and border studies,
this book explodes current theoretical models to offer a postmodern
critique of the Southwestern frontier via the lens of border theory
and third space feminism. By conceptualizing a methodology of space
and place rooted in historiography and social and cultural
geographical models, this book re-situates borderland identities.
The result is a model, a fresh approach that disorients the
frontier with the goal of narrative inclusivity for all peoples of
the Southwest. As the book speaks to new trends and scholarship via
an interdisciplinary approach, it will be useful for laypersons
interested in the Southwest and in American Studies, Ethnic
Studies, Multiethnic Literature, and Western History courses.
