This comprehensive survey systematically explores the dynamic
historic and contemporary interface between Mexico and the United
States along the shared 1,954-mile international land boundary. Now
fully updated and revised, the book provides an overview of the
history of the region and traces the economic cycles and social
movements from the 1880s through the second decade of the
twenty-first century. The border region shares characteristics of
both nations while maintaining an internal social and economic
coherence that transcends its divisive international boundary. The
authors conclude with an in-depth analysis of key contemporary
issues. These include industrial development and manufacturing,
bilateral trade, the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, rapid
urbanization, border culture, population and migration issues,
environmental crisis and climate change, Native Americans,
cooperation and conflict at the border, drug trafficking and
violence, the border wall and security, populist national leaders
and the border, and the Covid-19 pandemic at the border. They also
place the border in its global context, examining it as a region
caught between the developed and developing world and highlighting
the continued importance of borders in a rapidly globalizing world.
Richly illustrated with photographs, maps, charts, and up-to-date
statistical tables, this book is an invaluable resource for all
those interested in borderlands and U.S.-Mexican relations.
