She has shared meals with border residents, listened to their stories, and visited their homes, churches, hospitals, farms, and jails. In this dazzling portrait of one of the least understood and most debated regions in the country, Hendricks introduces us to the ordinary Americans and Mexicans who live there-cowboys and Indians, factory workers and physicians, naturalists and nuns. A new picture of the borderlands emerges, and we find that this region is not the dividing line so often imagined by Americans, but is a common ground alive with the energy of cultural exchange and international commerce, burdened with too-rapid growth and binational conflict, and underlain with a deep sense of history.International relationsMexican-American Border RegionSocial conditionsElectronic books.International relations.303.48/209721Hendricks Tyche1051493MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459111703321The wind doesn't need a passport2482028UNINA
