This is a most welcome update of a book I have been using in my classes for many years. The book outlines borderland history thoroughly and concisely, followed by a well-informed and insightful account of the present-day challenges confronting border dwellers on both sides of the line. The extensive new materials and well-chosen illustrations add punch and urgency to an already-engaging text., The U.S.-Mexican Border Today is a finely written, comprehensive view into human and environmental conditions in the U.S.-Mexican borderlands. The third edition provides students and scholars alike with a broad look at the most pertinent issues affecting how people, and the local flora and fauna, live and interact in a society influenced directly by major global issues--the movement of goods and people, multiculturalism and communication, the environment, and public security and the criminal element., Paul Ganster and David Lorey present an outstanding survey of the forces, processes, and events that have produced the vibrant transnational economy and society for which the border region is known. This latest edition provides valuable recent data and timely updates on many subjects, including security concerns, migration, drug trafficking, and environmental issues. Because of its comprehensiveness, clarity, statistical tables, and wonderful photographs, this book will prove extremely useful for anyone interested in the borderlands., Paul Ganster and David Lorey present an outstanding survey of the forces, processes, and events that have produced the vibrant transnational economy and society for which the border region is known.

Synopsis
Now fully updated and revised, this book systematically explores the dynamic interface between Mexico and the United States. In a comprehensive, richly illustrated survey, the authors consider the historical development, current politics and key issues, society, environment, economy, and daily life of the border region., Systematically exploring the dynamic interface between Mexico and the United States, this comprehensive survey considers the historical development, current politics, society, economy, and daily life of the border region. Now fully updated and revised, the book provides an overview of the history of the region and then traces the economic cycles and social movements from the 1880s through the beginning of the twenty-first century that created the modern border region, showing how the border shares characteristics of both nations while maintaining an internal coherence that transcends its divisive international boundary. The authors conclude with an in-depth analysis of the key issues of the contemporary borderlands: industrial development and maquiladoras, the North American Free Trade Agreement, rapid urbanization, border culture, demographic and migration issues, the environmental crisis, implications of climate change, Native Americans living near the border, U.S. and Mexican cooperation and conflict at the border, and drug trafficking and violence. They also place the border in its global context, examining it as a region caught between the developed and developing world and highlighting the continued importance of borders in a rapidly globalizing world. Richly illustrated with photographs and maps and enhanced by up-to-date and accessible statistical tables, this book is an invaluable resource for all those interested in borderlands and U.S.-Mexican relations.
