Border Visions: Mexican Cultures of the Southwest United States is an account of the rich cultural contribution of Mexicans to America's westernmost states. It is a compilation of various articles by leading researchers on topics of race and ethnicity, labor, politics, religion, art, health and more, that center on how the Mexican experience has helped shape the identity of the region. The readings, compiled by distinguished anthropologist Dr. Carlos Velez Ibanez, approach the topic from diverse angles and provide an essential guide to the cultural richness of the Southwest. The book delves into questions such as the significance of a border-crossing experience for Mexican immigrants, the role of Mexican-Americans in the labor movements of the Southwest, the relationship between Spanish a Catholicism, and contributions to art, literature, folklore, and food.
