The Wind Doesn't Need a Passport: Stories from the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hendricks, Tyche, PUBLISHER: University of California Press, Journalist Tyche Hendricks explored the U.S.-Mexico borderlands by car and by foot, on horseback, and in the back of a pick-up truck. She 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. Their stories, set in illuminating political and social context, enliven issues that are too often seen in the abstract: immigration, the environment, drug violence, manufacturing, and more. A new picture of the borderlands emerges--not as the dividing line Americans so often imagine it to be, but as common ground. The border Hendricks reveals is a dynamic region, alive with the energy of cultural exchange and international commerce, burdened with too-rapid growth and bi-national conflict, and underlain with a deep sense of history. Through the book we can better understand this unique place, whose residents themselves know best how to tackle our shared border challenges. Acquista Ora
