Recenzje

Unequal Neighbors plunges us into the everyday worlds of storytelling and stereotyping that create, sustain, and sometimes dissolve inequality across one of the most legendarily unequal borders in the world. This multi-layered, multi-perspectival portrait of 'image work' between Tijuana and San Diego shows how, beyond state security projects and national media representations, local processes of bordering and debordering remain fundamental to borders' role in producing economic and racial inequality globally. Accessible and lively, the book will be enlightening for anyone interested in urban studies, borders, inequality, or US-Mexico relations.
