Since its inception, the U.S.-Mexico border has invited the
creation of cultural, economic, and political networks that often
function in defiance of surrounding nation-states. It has also
produced individual and group identities that are as subversive as
they are dynamic. In Are We Not Foreigners Here?, Jeffrey M.
Schulze explores how the U.S.-Mexico border shaped the concepts of
nationhood and survival strategies of three Indigenous tribes who
live in this borderland: the Yaqui, Kickapoo, and Tohono O'odham.
These tribes have historically fought against nation-state
interference, employing strategies that draw on their transnational
orientation to survive and thrive. Schulze details the complexities
of the tribes' claims to nationhood in the context of the border
from the nineteenth century to the present. He shows that in
spreading themselves across two powerful, omnipresent
nation-states, these tribes managed to maintain separation from
currents of federal Indian policy in both countries; at the same
time, it could also leave them culturally and politically
vulnerable, especially as surrounding powers stepped up their
efforts to control transborder traffic. Schulze underlines these
tribes' efforts to reconcile their commitment to preserving their
identities, asserting their nationhood, and creating transnational
links of resistance with an increasingly formidable international
boundary.
