Drawing on a wide range of cultural productions including novels, films, paintings, comic strips, and historical studies, this groundbreaking book explores the Southwest as both a real and a culturally constructed site of migration and encounter, in which the very identities of \"alien\" and \"native\" shift with each act of travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEric Anderson pursues his inquiry through an unprecedented range of cultural texts.
