Clements Center for Southwest Studies, Southern Methodist University.\u003cp\u003eThe U.S.-Mexico borderlands have long supported a web of relationships that transcend the U.S. and Mexican nations. Yet national histories usually overlook these complex connections. \u003ci\u003eContinental Crossroads\u003c\/i\u003e rediscovers this forgotten terrain, laying the foundations for a new borderlands history at the crossroads of Chicano\/a, Latin American, and U.S. history. Drawing on the historiographies and archives of both the U.S. and Mexico, the authors chronicle the transnational processes that bound both nations together between the early nineteenth century and the 1940s, the formative era of borderlands history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA new generation of borderlands historians examines a wide range of topics in frontier and post-frontier contexts. The contributors explore how ethnic, racial, and gender relations shifted as a former frontier became the borderlands. They look at the rise of new imagined communities and border literary traditions through the eyes of Mexicans, Anglo-Americans, and Indians, and recover transnational border narratives and experiences of African Americans, Chinese, and Europeans. They also show how surveillance and resistance in the borderlands inflected the \"body politics\" of gender, race, and nation. Native heroine B疵bara Gandiaga, Mexican traveler Ignacio Mart匤ez, Kiowa warrior Sloping Hair, African American colonist William H. Ellis, Chinese merchant Lee Sing, and a diverse cast of \u003ci\u003epoliticos\u003c\/i\u003e and subalterns, \u003ci\u003egendarmes\u003c\/i\u003e and patrolmen, and \u003ci\u003einsurrectos\u003c\/i\u003e and exiles add transnational drama to the formerly divided worlds of Mexican and U.S. history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eContributors.\u003c\/i\u003e Grace Pe Delgado, Karl Jacoby, Benjamin Johnson, Louise Pubols, Ra伃 Ramos, Andr駸 Res駭dez, B疵bara O.
