The Border Reader brings together canonical and cutting-edge
humanities and social science scholarship on the US-Mexico border
region. Spotlighting the vibrancy of border studies from the
field’s emergence to its enduring significance, the essays
mobilize feminist, queer, and critical ethnic studies perspectives
to theorize the border as a site of epistemic rupture and knowledge
production. The chapters speak to how borders exist as regions
where people and nation-states negotiate power, citizenship, and
questions of empire. Among other topics, these essays examine the
lived experiences of the diverse undocumented people who move
through and live in the border region; trace the gendered and
sexualized experiences of the border; show how the US-Mexico border
has become a site of illegality where immigrant bodies become
racialized and excluded; and imagine anti- and post-border futures.
Foregrounding the interplay of scholarly inquiry and political
urgency stemming from the borderlands, The Border Reader presents a
unique cross-section of critical interventions on the region.
