As a young girl growing up in Houston, Texas, in the 1980s, Domino
Perez spent her free time either devouring books or watching
films-and thinking, always thinking, about the media she consumed.
The meaningful connections between these media and how we learn
form the basis of Perez's "slow" research approach to race, class,
and gender in the borderlands. Part cultural history, part literary
criticism, part memoir, Fatherhood in the Borderlands takes an
incisive look at the value of creative inquiry while it examines
the nuanced portrayal of Mexican American fathers in literature and
film. Perez reveals a shifting tension in the literal and
figurative borderlands of popular narratives and shows how form,
genre, and subject work to determine the roles Mexican American
fathers are allowed to occupy. She also calls our attention to the
cultural landscape that has allowed such a racialized
representation of Mexican American fathers to continue, unopposed,
for so many years. Fatherhood in the Borderlands brings readers
right to the intersection of the white cultural mainstream in the
United States and Mexican American cultural productions, carefully
considering the legibility and illegibility of Brown fathers in
contemporary media.
