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"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aAlbma Rhetoric Cult & Soc Crit 606 $aMexican Americans$xEthnic identity 606 $aMexican Americans$xCivil rights$xHistory 606 $aCitizenship$xSocial aspects 607 $aMexican-American Border Region$xEthnic relations$xHistory 607 $aMexican-American Border Region$xEmigration and immigration 615 0$aMexican Americans$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aMexican Americans$xCivil rights$xHistory. 615 0$aCitizenship$xSocial aspects. 676 $a973/.046872 686 $aSOC007000$aSOC044000$2bisacsh 700 $aCisneros$b Josue David$f1981-$01621500 701 $aWatson$b Mary Elizabeth$01621501 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828479003321 996 $aThe border crossed us$93954803 997 $aUNINA
