Walled: Barriers, Migration, and Resistance in the U.S.-Mexico Borderlands
Editat de Andréanne Bissonnette, Élisabeth Valleten Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 mar 2025
From the bustling San Diego–Tijuana region to the borderlands of Brownsville-Matamoros, the U.S.-Mexico border is marked by extensive stretches of walls. Over the past thirty years, these walls have evolved from purely physical barriers into multifaceted systems encompassing administrative, legal, legislative, and biometric components. This volume invites readers to reflect on the transformations of the border since the construction of the initial fourteen miles of wall, and the subsequent addition of 1,940 miles. It provides a comprehensive exploration of the border’s evolution, and its profound and lasting impacts.
Bringing together recognized scholars in border studies, Walled delves into the varied manifestations and lived experiences associated with U.S.-Mexico border walls. The introduction by Andréanne Bissonnette and Élisabeth Vallet offers a thorough review of the border walls’ thirty-year history, placing it within a global context. Contributions offer diverse perspectives of the border experience, from state policies and migrant experiences to the daily lives of border residents. Topics such as militarization, migration, artistic resistance, and humanitarian aid are carefully examined. This volume is an essential resource for policymakers, activists, scholars, and anyone seeking to understand the intricate realities of border communities and the far-reaching consequences of border policies.

Recenzii
“This is a great contribution to the field of border studies. To date, no volume has looked at the course of the U.S.-Mexico wall from its inception until the present—thirty years later—and analyzed the wide-ranging impacts this political institution has on the lives of people that live in its midst. It will surely be read for many years to come.”—Matthew Longo, author of The Politics of Borders: Sovereignty, Security, and the Citizen after 9/11
“One of the volume’s main contributions lies in its ability to articulate multiple scales of analysis and conceptualize the border beyond territorial boundaries. Borderization emerges as a process that cuts across health, education, and identity, shaping everyday life. While the book acknowledges methodological tensions related to data access and sample size, it ultimately reframes the debate by shifting attention from the effectiveness of fortification to its political, social, and human consequences”—Axel Eduardo Núñez Morales, Journal of Borderlands Studies

Descriere
Thirty years after the first mile of border walls was constructed in the San Diego–Tijuana region, this volume invites readers to reflect on how the border has evolved and what durable impacts came from these initial fourteen miles of border walls—and the 1,940 miles constructed since.
