The border between the United States and Mexico, despite attempts at containment, remains a vast and uniquely malleable yet indefinable region. With Border Culture, Ilan Stavans has collected essays representative of the tangled experiences and issues central to life between cultures.

Divided into two sections, Border Culture covers topics essential to better understanding this often misunderstood region and state-of-mind. The first section, "Considerations," culls essays covering socio-economic and political topics illustrating the hyper reality of life and living on La Frontera. Section two, "TestimonioS≪/i>," takes careful consideration of lives affected by the border, either as a finite place, alternate universe, or the framework of the border as a state-of-mind, through various historic and literary accounts of La Frontera. This enlightening and comprehensive collection will no doubt help readers better understand border culture.

Border Culture (The Ilan Stavans Library of Latino Civilization) Review

Historically speaking, the border separating Mexico from the United States has been fluid, permeable, and a source of contention that has ranged from mile annoyance to overt hostility over the past two centuries. It has also been the setting for cultural, political, and socio-economic conditions that are unique to the area as two distinct cultures (including language) and conflicted, merged, and evolved. "Border Culture" (the newest addition to the impressive Greenwood Press series 'The Ilan Stavans Library of Latino Civilization', deftly compiled and knowledgeably edited by Illan Stavans focuses on the border region and is organized into two major sections. The first being a collection of informed and informative essays dealing with life on the border, the second providing a series a historic and literary accounts on living in 'La Frontera'. A sturdily bound, 168-page work of seminal scholarship and highly recommended for academic and community library American History and International Studies reference collections, "Border Culture" is enhanced with a selected bibliography, and a comprehensive index. Obviously suitable as a curriculum supplement text book, "Border Culture" is also very appropriate for the non-specialist general reader with an interest in contemporary Mexican/American border issues.
