Beschreibung:
Thomas Torrans, a retired journalist, lives and writes in Haltom City, Texas. He is the author of the companion volume Forging the Tortilla Curtain, also published by TCU Press.
This text looks at the United States-Mexico border in fiction, film and song. Borderlands have long served as backgrounds for depicting social instability. They are readily used as backdrops for films, novels, ballads, and tales in which characters shift easily from one culture to another.
