Loustaunau and Sanchez-Bane combine their many years of association
and collaboration dealing with health issues in the U.S.-Mexico
border area, to bring together a series of chapters illustrating
that asi es la vida, that's life, need not indicate a fatalistic
acceptance that poverty, sickness, misery, and misfortune must be
taken in stride. The authors of the chapters have researched,
studied, worked with, or have been borderlanders themselves. The
chapters focus on the impact of the social structure, and on the
power and determination of people to change their conditions for
the better, increasing their choices and enlarging their worlds.
They look beyond political and economic barriers to find the spark
in the human spirit that must be identified and nurtured to produce
a better life for the benefit of peoples and nations on both sides
of the border, and to nourish the third culture as a bridge between
nations. The authors note the dangers and pitfalls along the way,
and the need for more realistic policies and programs to empower
people to define their own problems, and to participate in
fashioning the solutions.
