The U.S.-Mexico Transborder Region
Cultural Dynamics and Historical Interactions
Edited by Carlos G. Vélez-Ibáñez and Josiah Heyman
The University of Arizona Press
Not a static entity, the transborder region is peopled by ever-changing groups who face the challenges of social inequality: political enforcement of privilege, economic subordination of indigenous communities, and organized resistance to domination. Editors Carlos G. Vélez-Ibáñez and Josiah Heyman envision this region as involving diverse and unequal social groups in dynamic motion over thousands of years. Thus the historical interaction of the U.S.-Mexico border, however massively unequal and powerful, is only the most recent manifestation of this longer history and common ecology.
Life and Labor on the Border
Working People of Northeastern Sonora, Mexico, 1886–1986
The University of Arizona Press
This book traces the development of the urban working class in northern Sonora over the period of a century. Drawing on an extensive collection of life histories over several generations, Heyman describes what has happened to families as people have left the countryside to work for American-owned companies in northern Sonora or to cross the border to find other employment.

Mass deportation is currently at the forefront of political discourse in the United States.

The Shadow of the Wall underscores the unintended social consequences of increased border enforcement, immigrant criminalization, and deportation along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Political Ecology Across Spaces, Scales, and Social Groups
By Susan Paulson, Lisa L. Gezon, Arturo Escobar, Andrew Gardner, Mette Brodgen, James Greenberg, Hanne Svarstad, Michael Dove, Alf Hornborg, Charles Stevens, Josiah Heyman, Fiona Mackenzie, Anne Ferguson, and William Derman; Edited by Susan Paulson and Lisa L. Gezon
Rutgers University Press
Environmental issues have become increasingly prominent in local struggles, national debates, and international policies. In response, scholars are paying more attention to conventional politics and to more broadly defined relations of power and difference in the interactions between human groups and their biophysical environments. Such issues are at the heart of the relatively new interdisciplinary field of political ecology, forged at the intersection of political economy and cultural ecology. This volume provides a toolkit of vital concepts and a set of research models and analytic frameworks for researchers at all levels.
