Reinterprets the United States' record on human and labour rights. This important book illuminates the way in which South Texas pioneered the low-wage, insecure, migration-dependent labor system on which so many industries continue to depend.
With the railroad's arrival in the late nineteenth century, immigrants of all colours rushed to the US-Mexico borderlands, transforming the region into a booming international hub of economic and human activity. Following the stream of Mexican, Chinese, and African American migration, Julian Lim presents a fresh study of the multiracial intersections of the borderlands.
With archival research from both the US and Canada, Ryan Hall shows for how the Blackfoot used their borderlands position to create one of North America's most vibrant and lasting Indigenous homelands. This book sheds light on a phase of Native and settler relations that is often elided in conventional interpretations of Western history.
Making a vital contribution to our understanding of North American borderlands history through an examination of the northernmost stretches of the US-Canada border, Andrea Geiger highlights the role that the North Pacific borderlands played in the construction of race and citizenship on both sides of the border from 1867 to the end of World War II.
