Border Matters - Remapping American Cultural Studies (Paperback, New)

"A brilliant new vision of the multiple migrations, metaphoric and material, that occur within and between intricate, evolving cultures of the U.S. and Mexico. By joining British and U.S. cultural studies to the study of the U.S. borderlands, Saldivar establishes the trans-Latin as a complex and contradictory space of ethnic identity, cultural imagination and political struggle. "Border Matters is a groundbreaking book that not only casts light on regions that have been shadowed by neglect and disdain, but it also forces us to redraw, even unmap, the shifting intellectual borders of American cultural studies."--Michael Eric Dyson, "Race Rules: Navigating the Color Line

""Border Matters is exemplary in its detailed and sophisticated investigation of cultural texts. . . . A valuable work of intellectual history as well as a tour de force of contemporary cultural criticism."--George Lipsitz, author of "Time Passages

"Saldivar presents and reworks very complex issues in a manner that will make this book accessible, even inviting, to non-expert readers, yet he loses none of the edge of his argument. . . . This is a groundbreaking work that does much more than define a new field--it revolutionizes the predominant ways we tend to organize intellectual inquiry."--Carl Gutierrez-Jones, author of "Rethinking the Borderlands
