Borders and citizenship go hand in hand. Borders define a nation as a territorial entity and create the parameters for national belonging. But the relationship between borders and citizenship breeds perpetual anxiety over the purported sanctity of the border, the security of a nation, and the integrity of civic identity. In The Border Crossed Us, Josue David Cisneros addresses these themes as they relate to the US-Mexico border, arguing that issues ranging from the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848 to contemporary debates about Latina/o immigration and border security are negotiated rhetorically through public discourse. He explores these rhetorical battles through case studies of specific Latina/o struggles for civil rights and citizenship, including debates about Mexican American citizenship in the 1849 California Constitutional Convention, 1960's Chicana/o civil rights movements, and modern-day immigrant activism. Cisneros posits that borders--both geographic and civic--have crossed and recrossed Latina/o communities throughout history (the book's title derives from the popular activist chant, "We didn't cross the border; the border crossed us!") and that Latina/os in the United States have long contributed to, struggled with, and sought to cross or challenge the borders of belonging, including race, culture, language, and gender. The Border Crossed Us illuminates the enduring significance and evolution of US borders and citizenship, and provides programmatic and theoretical suggestions for the continued study of these critical issues"--Provided by publisher.Albma Rhetoric Cult & Soc CritMexican AmericansEthnic identityMexican AmericansCivil rightsHistoryCitizenshipSocial aspectsMexican-American Border RegionEthnic relationsHistoryMexican-American Border RegionEmigration and immigrationElectronic books.Mexican AmericansEthnic identity.Mexican AmericansCivil rightsHistory.CitizenshipSocial aspects.973/.046872Cisneros Josue David1981-1048344Watson Mary Elizabeth1026317MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465019003321The border crossed us2476592UNINA04001oam 2200721I 450 991078618290332120230725035154.01-136-95119-90-203-84884-51-283-96409-01-136-95120-210.4324/9780203848845 (CKB)2670000000325109(EBL)1111465(OCoLC)826854865(SSID)ssj0000820782(PQKBManifestationID)12356905(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000820782(PQKBWorkID)10863558(PQKB)10565926(MiAaPQ)EBC1111465(Au-PeEL)EBL1111465(CaPaEBR)ebr10647759(CaONFJC)MIL427659(OCoLC)825767657(OCoLC)1199302920(FINmELB)ELB137960(EXLCZ)99267000000032510920180706d2010 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrThe myth of the clash of civilizations /Chiara Bottici and Benoit ChallandAbingdon, Oxon [England] ;New York :Routledge,2010.1 online resource (193 p.)Routledge advances in Middle East and Islamic studies ;18Routledge advances in Middle East and Islamic studies ;18Description based upon print version of record.0-415-63280-3 0-415-57327-0 Includes bibliographical references and index.The Myth of the Clash of Civilizations; Copyright; Contents; List of illustrations; Acknowledgements; Introduction; 1 Political myths; 1.1 Understanding myth: a theoretical framework; 1.2 Political myth; 1.3 Political myth, history and ideology; 1.4 Conclusions; 2 Icons; 2.1 Icons, symbols and the social unconscious; 2.2 Facing the unknown: a journey into Arabland; 2.3 Fascination or fear?

How can it be that Huntington's contested idea of a clash of civilizations became such a powerful political myth through which so many people look at the world? Bottici and Challand disentangle such a process of myth-making both in the West and in Muslim majority countries, and call for a renewed critical attitude towards it.
