Daniel D. Arreola. Postcards from the Sonora Border: Visualizing Place through a Popular Lens, 1900s–1950s
Daniel Arreola’s Postcards from the Sonora Border is the first of four planned volumes on the “visual history” of Mexico’s northern border towns. Arreola explores in the book how historical postcards “shaped the way we came to see these towns as both tourist destinations and lived places” (xvi). He argues not only that postcards shape “American imaginations” about Mexico and the border, but, most interestingly, that these imaginations, combined w…
Three Roads to Magdalena: Coming of Age in a Southwest Borderland, 1890-1990
Three Roads to Magdalena is a remarkably rich exploration of growing up in west central New Mexico's diverse ranch country, filled with stories of beauty, danger, trauma, and human resilience. Rarely is such an insightful historical analysis such a pleasure to read. David Wallace Adams began conducting oral histories with Hispanics, Navajos, Anglos, and “combinations thereof” in Magdalena in 1981 (p. x). The residents' childhood memories contain …

Timothy Henderson, Beyond Borders: A History of Mexican Migration to the United States
Migra! A History of the U.S. Border Patrol
Kelly Lytle Hernández revises a common thesis that the United States Border Patrol served as a monolithic instrument of immigrant labor control and a salve to nativist anxieties. She does so, first, by revealing how local interests and individual border patrol agents determined the goals and practices of early border policing, not always to the advantage of southwestern agribusiness. Secondly, she examines the patrol's evolving practice of state-…
