As the issue of immigration between Mexico and the United States
becomes more critical, it is increasingly important that we
understand the process of development in Mexico's northern border
region. This collection of essays offers an empirical analysis of
development in Ciudad JuA!rez, with an emphasis on the social and
spatial contexts in which economic relations occur. The analyses
are framed by a general discussion of urbanization, migration, and
industrialization, considered in light of the history of Mexico's
northern frontier. Contributors recount the city's pattern of urban
growth in response to the natural environment and the changing
national culture and examine current patterns of land use,
especially as compared to similar development in other Latin
American cities. Other issues considered are the impact on
household activities of the structure of women's participation in
the maquiladora work force; the city's use of its human resources,
especially in off-shore assembly activities; and the foreign
orientation of the Juarez economy.
