Description
"Frontera offers a unique look at the communities on both sides of the nearly 2,000-mile border shared by the United States and Mexico. The region has a reputation of being a dangerous place with Border Patrol playing a "cat-and-mouse game" with drug cartels and irregular/undocumented immigrants. However, the book goes beyond those stereotypes by offering the reader a glimpse into the beauty and complexity of the region in the era of COVID-19 and before, as well as an understanding of the region's rich cultural life. Styled as a coffee table book, Frontera provides a mix of photos and information about each of the 23 U.S. border counties and the 37 Mexican border municipalities. These images and materials capture some of the beauty and contrasts of what Alan Bersin calls El Tercer País (The Third Country)"--
