Borderlands violence, so explosive in our time, has deep roots in
history. Lance R. Blyth's study of Chiricahua Apaches and the
presidio of Janos in the U.S.-Mexican borderlands reveals how no
single entity had a monopoly on coercion, and how violence became
the primary means by which relations were established, maintained,
or altered both within and between communities, to include the
Spanish-Mexican settlement of Janos in Nueva Vizcaya, present-day
Chihuahua, and the Chiricahua Apaches.
For more than two centuries violence was at the center of the
relationships by which Janos and Chiricahua formed their
communities. Violence created families by turning boys into men
through campaigns and raids, which ultimately led to marriage and
also determined the provisioning and security of these families,
with acts of revenge and retaliation governing their attempts to
secure themselves even as trade and exchange continued
sporadically. This revisionist work reveals how during the Spanish,
Mexican, and American eras both conflict and accommodation
constituted these two communities that previous historians have
often treated as separate and antagonistic. By showing not only the
negative aspects of violence but also its potentially positive
outcomes, "Chiricahua and Janos" helps us to understand violence
not only in the southwestern borderlands but in borderland regions
generally around the world.
