Description
Tijuana's border with California is one of the world's busiest international ports of entry. Yet, despite this connection, the city remains deeply connected to its Mexican identity. In "Passing Two Publics in a Mexican Border City", Rihan Yeh explores how the border shapes Mexican senses of self and collectivity through everyday exchanges. Through extensive fieldwork, Yeh examines a range of ethnographic evidence, including public demonstrations, internet forums, popular music, and personal interviews. By capturing the dynamics of desire and denial that permeate public spheres in Tijuana, she sheds light on long-standing divisions of class and citizenship in Mexico. This timely work offers insights into current debates over immigration, Latin American citizenship, and the US-Mexico border.
