Our latest issue, "Beyond Borders," is now available online!
Spring is here and we're excited to announce the release of our latest issue, "Beyond Borders," which focuses on a variety of borders across the Americas, literal and symbolic; from Indigenous territorial claims in Nicaragua and Chile, to the political and economic repercussions within the triple border region shared by Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay.
An issue of the NACLA Report about borders couldn't be more timely, when the Trump administration has posed the U.S.-Mexico border and the people who cross it as the central threat to U.S. Americanism. Yet this focus displaces the longer-term history of violent border exclusion across the Americas—the brutality, inequality, and cultural hybridity they embody, as Latinx feminist art historian Guisela Maria Latorre has suggested—in various conceptions.
A selection of articles will soon be available open access online for a period of 60 days. In the meantime, you can read the editor's intro by NACLA Managing Editor Laura Weiss and guest editor Joe Nevins.
*A note on the front and back cover: On the front is an image of Chicano artist Richard Lou's "Border Door," an iconic 1988 site-specific performance that was later installed on the U.S.-Mexico border. On the back is an image by photographer Omar Lucas of the infamous Wall of Shame in Lima.
Thank you for reading!
