First sentence: This mapping of cultural theory within the discourse of the U.S.-Mexico borderlands is an invitation to literary scholars, historians, cultural studies critics, anthropologists, feminists, mass culture critics, public interest lawyers, and antiracists to redraw the borders between folklore and the counterdiscourses of marginality, between "everyday" culture and "high" culture, and between "people with culture" and "people between culture."
