description: Focuses on relations between the border towns of Juarez and El Paso to illuminate relations in general between Mexico and US, challenging media and government proclamations of milk and honey. Vivid and often gruesome images created by anonymous street photographers accompany descriptions of impoverished urban settlements, workers in foreign- owned factories, victims of drug and gang violence, the hardships of women and children, and other aspects of daily life for all but the privileged few. Noam Chomsky contributes the preface. No index or bibliography. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
