The Magazine Traffic Got It Wrong! The Borderwith Its Frantic Commerce In Drugs, Human Beings, Electronic Gadgets, Money And Other Economic Unitsis A Lens Into The Future Of The New World Economy. But Its Misunderstood, Disparaged, Cheated And Even Sentimentalized By The National Media Portraying It From Its Big Brother Perspective. Puro Border Is A Remedy To That Bias, Creating A Collage Rooted In The Best Writing From Both Sides Of The Border, Plus Photographs And Grafitti (Corridas, Newspaper Clips And Facts) Revealing Life En La Frontera.In The 80S And 90S, With The Militarization And Fencing Of The Border, The United States Became The Prototype Of The Worlds Largest Gated Community.

The Indigenous Peoples Of The Region, Like The Tohono Oddham, Will Tell You That The Border Is A Makebelieve Line. They Know Because It Crosses Through The Heart Of Their Ancient Homeland. And In Jurez The Line Is Real Enough. There Over 300 Young Womenmostly Workers In The Booming Maquila Industrieshave Been Disappeared. The Media On The Other Side Have Mostly Ignored This Tragic Fact.Mexican Contributors Include Juan Villoro, Eduardo Antonio Parra, Julian Herbert, Julian Cardona And David Ojeda.
