"A powerful and sensitive interpretation. . . . The narrative, combined with Dusard's crisp photographs, accurately captures the limbo of a borderlands region that is neither Mexican nor North American. Highly recommended."--Library Journal"Weisman's empathetic prose documents the aspirations and challenges of men, women and children exposed daily to the dynamics of the extended frontier. . . . Dusard's exquisite black-and-white photos add a humanistic dimension that make La Frontera an unusual study."--San Diego Tribune"This peerless, beautifully illustrated work cannot be too highly recommended."--Latin America in Books"La Frontera takes us on a sometimes bumpy but always buoyant journey of the nearly 2,000 miles which make up the boundary between the United States and Mexico. . . . Rich in border flavor and journalistic prose."--Southern California Quarterly"Newcomers and natives alike will come away with fresh insights and a deeper appreciation of the clash and blend of peoples and lifestyles in the southwestern borderland."--The Journal of Arizona History No library descriptions found. |
