Book of the Week

I have always liked Debbie Nathan's articles about the Texas-Mexico border and unfortunately this is the closest thing she has to a complete collection of articles. As you might guess from the title, it's not exclusively about the Mexican border and since it was published in 1991, one might even argue that it's a bit dated.

But it's still worth reading and given the type of rhetoric that has surrounded the Mexican border as of yet, one might say that its main problem is that it's not dated enough. Someday she might come up with a complete collection of her work but in the meantime, this is a good introduction to her work.
