Border Theory was first published in 1997. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make longunavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions.Challenging the prevailing assumption that border studies occurs only in 'the borderlands' where Mexico and the United States meet, the authors gathered in this volume examine the multiple borders that define the United States and the Americas, including the MasonDixon line, the U.S. Canadian border, the shifting boundaries of urban diasporas, and the colonization and confinement of American Indians. The texts assembled here examine the way border studies beckons us to rethink all objects of study and intellectual disciplines as versions of a border problematic.These writersdrawn from anthropology, history, and language studiescritique the terrain, limits, and possibilities of border theory. They examine, among other topics, the 'soft' or 'friendly' borders produced by ethnic studies, antiassimilationist or 'difference' multiculturalisms, liberal anthropologies, and benevolent nationalisms. Referring to a range of theory (anthropological, sociological, feminist, Marxist, European postmodernist and poststructuralist, postcolonial, and ethnohistorical), the authors trace the genealogical and logical links between these discourses and border studies.A timely critique of a field just now revealing its explosive potential, this volume maps the intellectual topography of border theory and challenges the epistemological and political foundations of border studies.Contributors are Russ Castronovo, Elaine K. Chang, Louis Kaplan, Alejandro Lugo, Benjamin Alire Senz, and Patricia Seed.Scott Michaelsen is assistant professor of English at Michigan State University. David E. Johnson is lecturer in the Department of Modern Languages at the State University of New York at Buffalo.
