Each section begins with a ""conversation"" essay--co-authored by two leading interdisciplinary scholars in the relevant fields--that weaves together the book's thematic questions with the ideas and essays to follow.Border Spaces is prompted by art and grounded in an academy ready to consider the connections between art, land, and people in a binational region. The built environment along the US-Mexico border has long been a hotbed of political and creative action. In this volume, the historically tense region and visually provocative margin - the southwestern US and northern Mexico - take centre stage, to demonstrate the symbolic importance and visual impact of border spaces.
