Suzanne Simon is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of North Florida, USA.
"For applied and practicing anthropologists and for teachers and
students interested in social justice initiatives, this is
recommended reading that imparts valuable lessons."
--American Ethnologist
"Simon makes an original contribution to our understanding of
movement politics along the United States-Mexican border. The
treatment of grassroots organizations of workers and residents in
northern Mexico is especially strong."
--Paul Hart, author of Bitter Harvest
"Simon's study unveils the perverse nature of [a] discourse of
participation, sustainability, and stewardship. The burden,
ultimately, falls not to the state but, rather, to the poor and
marginal, who must be unrelentingly resilient. Sustaining the
Borderlands in the Age of NAFTA attests to their struggles in a
borderland world that is rapidly turning into an environmental
wasteland."
--American Anthropologist
