Fronterizos, Transnational Migrants, and Commuters in Tijuana

Produktbeschreibung

Border Lives tells the story of former, current, and future border crosses who live in Tijuana and use the border as a resource to construct their livelihoods. Drawing on almost a year and a half of ethnographic data, Sergio Chavez demonstrates the ways in which the border can be both a resource and a constraint on people's lives.
