The U.S.-Mexico Border Region is among the poorest geographical
areas in the United States. The region has been long characterized
by dual development, poor infrastructure, weak schools, health
disparities and low-wage employment. More recently, the region has
been affected by the violence associated with a drug and crime war
in Mexico. The premise of this book is that the U.S.-Mexico Border
Region is subject to systematic oppression and that the so-called
social pathologies that we see in the region are by-products of
social and economic injustice in the form of labor exploitation,
environmental racism, immigration militarism, institutional sexism
and discrimination, health inequities, a political economy based on
low-wage labor, and the globalization of labor and capital. The
chapters address a variety of examples of injustice in the areas of
environment, health disparity, migration unemployment, citizenship,
women and gender violence, mental health, and drug violence. The
book proposes a pathway to development.
