Clements Center for Southwest Studies\u003c\/b\u003eIn the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Mexicans and Americans joined together to transform the U.S.-Mexico borderlands into a crossroads of modern economic development. This book reveals the forgotten story of their ambitious dreams and their ultimate failure to control this fugitive terrain.\u003cbr\u003eFocusing on a mining region that spilled across the Arizona-Sonora border, this book shows how entrepreneurs, corporations, and statesmen tried to domesticate nature and society within a transnational context. Efforts to tame a \"wild\" frontier were stymied by labor struggles, social conflict, and revolution. \u003ci\u003eFugitive Landscapes\u003c\/i\u003e explores the making and unmaking of the U.S.-Mexico border, telling how ordinary people resisted the domination of empires, nations, and corporations to shape transnational history on their own terms. By moving beyond traditional national narratives, it offers new lessons for our own border-crossing age. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Samuel Truett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300143311\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300143317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Samuel Truett","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48112858628351,"sku":"9780300143317","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f0066f97-2c7e-41e0-b218-73bbed5b422c.jpg?v=1769611416","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fugitive-landscapes-samuel-truett-9780300143317","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
