Culture across Borders: Mexican Immigration and Popular Culture

Book Rating
This book had a lot of very insightful articles on the US-Mexico border and the borderlands. I always find it fascinating to see the different points of view about the border--specifically how the United States sees it as opposed to how Mexico sees it. This book has six articles that I had to read for my film class about the borderlands. Seeing how specifically films deal with issues involved in immigration is very interesting. I enjoyed being shown examples throughout history to see how culture adapted and changed their views on immigrants and border policy. I think the most insightful article, for me, was "The Celluloid Immigrant" by Victor Alejandro Sorrell because it hits on many of the issues we still see today.
