{"product_id":"passing-rihan-yeh-9780226511917","title":"Passing: Two Publics in a Mexican Border City","description":"Tijuana is the largest of Mexico's northern border cities, and although it has struggled during the United States' dramatic escalation of border enforcement, it nonetheless remains deeply connected with California by one of the largest, busiest international ports of entry in the world. In \u003ci\u003ePassing\u003c\/i\u003e, Rihan Yeh probes the border's role in shaping Mexican senses of self and collectivity. Drawing on extensive fieldwork, Yeh examines a range of ethnographic evidence: public demonstrations, internet forums, popular music, dinner table discussions, police encounters, workplace banter, intensely personal interviews, and more. Through these everyday exchanges, she shows how the promise of passage and the threat of prohibition shape Tijuana's communal sense of \"we\" and throw into relief long-standing divisions of class and citizenship in Mexico. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Out of the nitty-gritty of quotidian talk and interaction in Tijuana, Yeh captures the dynamics of desire and denial that permeate public spheres in our age of transnational crossings and fortified borders. Original and accessible, \u003ci\u003ePassing \u003c\/i\u003eis a timely work in light of current fierce debates over immigration, Latin American citizenship, and the US-Mexico border.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rihan Yeh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 022651191X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226511917\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/13\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2018","brand":"Rihan Yeh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43913438134527,"sku":"9780226511917","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d4eb8e5a-ce86-4f9f-b75b-c06a2544f624.jpg?v=1680620402","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/passing-rihan-yeh-9780226511917","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
