The border between the United States and Mexico, despite
attempts at containment, remains a vast and uniquely malleable yet
indefinable region. With "Border Culture," Ilan Stavans has
collected essays representative of the tangled experiences and
issues central to life between cultures.
Divided into two sections, "Border Culture" covers topics
essential to better understanding this often misunderstood region
and state-of-mind. The first section, "Considerations," culls
essays covering socio-economic and political topics illustrating
the hyper reality of life and living on "La Frontera." Section two,
""Testimonios,"" takes careful consideration of lives affected by
the border, either as a finite place, alternate universe, or the
framework of the border as a state-of-mind, through various
historic and literary accounts of "La Frontera." This enlightening
and comprehensive collection will no doubt help readers better
understand border culture.
