In "Where Cultures Meet," editors Weber and Rausch have collected
twenty essays that explore how the frontier experience has helped
create Latin American national identities and institutions. Using
'frontier' to mean more than 'border, ' Weber and Rausch regard
frontiers as the geographic zones of interaction between distinct
cultures. Each essay in the volume illuminates the recipro-cal
influences of the 'pioneer' culture and the 'frontier' culture, as
they contend with each other and their physical environment.
The transformative power of frontiers gives them special
interest for historians and anthropologists. Delving into the
frontier experience below the Rio Grande, "Where Cultures Meet" is
an important collection for anyone seeking to understand fully
Latin American history and culture.
