Title: The New World Border
Description: *The New World Border* is a carnivalesque inversion of ethnic and geo-political ideology, a disorienting free-fall into the space between cultures, and a head-on collision with the real and imagined borders that separate North and South.

Hero of a thousand syncretic faces – intercultural interpreter, reverse anthropologist, experimental linguist, and political artist of the first order – Guillermo Gómez-Peña has won international acclaim for his efforts to create a hybrid culture and to articulate a borderless ethos.

In this new collection of essays, poems, and performance texts, Gómez-Peña muses, often tongue-in-cheek, on matters of race, nationality, language, and identity. With a heady mix of pop culture, provocative iconography, political satire, ethnic stereotypes, and guerrilla theory, he explores "the territory of cultural misunderstanding."
