Arreolas Postcards from the Baja California Border offers a window into the historical and geographical past of storied Mexican border communities. Oncepopular tourist destinations from the 1900s through the 1950s, the border communities explored in Postcards from the Baja California Border used to be filled with revelers, cabarets, curio shops, and more. The postcards in this book show the bright and dynamic past of Californias borderlands while diving deep into the historic and geographic significance of the imagery found on the postcards.This form of place study calls attention to how we can see a past through a serial view of places, by the nature of repetition, and the photographing of the same place over and over again. Arreola draws our focus to townscapes, or built landscapes, of four border townsTijuana, Mexicali, Tecate, and Algodonesduring the first half of the twentieth century. With an emphasis on the tourists view of these places, this book creates a vivid picture of what life was like for tourists and residents of these towns in the early and midtwentieth century. Postcards from the Baja California Border is a rich and fascinating experience, one that takes you on a timetravel journey through border town histories and geographies while celebrating the visual intrigue of postcards.
