"Some have called it the tortilla curtain. Others have viewed it as a Third World entity where primitive conditions and poverty exist cheek-by-jowl with the latest marvels of the Information Age. But the border region between Mexico and the United States is more dynamic than ever since its transition into a sort of Mexamerica - a world fueled by corporate colonialism, the North American Free Trade Agreement (or NAFTA) and contraband of every stripe, from illegal drugs to illegal aliens.".

"Forging the Tortilla Curtain reveals how the region got to be that way."--BOOK JACKET.
