Frontmatter -- Contents -- Figures -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- PART I Historical Border Crossing: National, Ethnic, and Theoretical -- Chapter 1 American Indians and US-Canada Transborder Migration Opportunity and Refuge -- Chapter 2 Warped Mirrors Shifting Representations and Asymmetrical Constructs on the Border(s) of the American Southwest -- Chapter 3 “Dare to Dance Your Own Dance” Transgressing Aesthetic Borders in Early Twentieth-Century American Theatrical Dance -- Chapter 4 Border Work The Migration of Los Angeles Japanese Americans from the Manzanar Relocation Center to Father Flanagan’s Boys Town during World War II -- Chapter 5 From Geographic to Virtual Borders in New York City From Little Italy to Chinatown -- PART II Permeability in Border and Migration Policy -- Chapter 6 Realizing Government Ambitions Policing Insiders and Outsiders -- Chapter 7 Detention for Deterrence? The Strategic Role of Private Facilities and Offshore Resources in US Migration Management -- PART III National Borders, Liminal Spaces, and Permeation -- Chapter 8 Douglas, Arizona, and Agua Prieta, Sonora Cross-Border Relationships and Security Issues -- Chapter 9 (Dis)Continuities of the Border Spectacle An Analysis of a Binational Park in San Diego, California -- Chapter 10 A Durable Permeation Imagination, Motion, and Differentiation at the Border between Canada and the United States -- Afterword: Permeability and the Making and Unmaking of Borders -- Index
Summary: If the frontier, in all its boundless possibility, was a central organizing metaphor for much of U.S. history, today it is arguably the border that best encapsulates the American experience, as xenophobia, economic inequality, and resurgent nationalism continue to fuel conditions of division and limitation. This boldly interdisciplinary volume explores the ways that historical and contemporary actors in the U.S. have crossed such borders—whether national, cultural, ethnic, racial, or conceptual. Together, these essays suggest new ways to understand borders while encouraging connection and exchange, even as social and political forces continue to try to draw lines around and between people.
