Editorial:

A few years ago, this was a dream for some of us, a dream nearly realizedinthe1990sbutnottransformedintorealityuntilnow.Ourjournal,thejournaloftheAssociationforBorderlandsStudies,the Journal of Borderlands Studies (JBS),isnowpartofthepublicationstableof the Routledge group/Taylor and Francis. The last number produced attheUniversityofVictoria(UVic),BritishColumbia,Canadawasmailednearly a month ago. Volume 25(3&4) is a double number that celebrates this achievement. The UVic team is extremely proud to have served the AssociationforBorderlandsStudiessuccessfullyinthisendeavour.

So looking back, let us elaborate on why we think JBS is a wonderful interdisciplinarypublication.JBSiscurrentlyunderreviewbyThomsonReuters, formally ISI web of Knowledge, and will soon be reviewed by the Social Science Index. Also, both Elsevier and Routledge had identifiedJBSasjustbelownecessarynumbersofcitationsto‘buyintoit’forsevenyearsatour2009ABSmeeting.Finally,whatmattersmostto us is that today JBS belongs to a great press, Routledge/Taylor and Francis (http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/RJBS), and remains the icon of thewonderfulscholarlyAssociationforBorderlandsStudies.Thismeansthatwritingforthisjournalallowsscholarstoengagecolleaguesaroundthe world who share the same interests. Indeed, in 2011 we will have wellover200membersinnearly30countriesonallcontinents. Furthermore, within the next two or three years JBS should be establishedinwellover300librariesworldwide.Inthemeantime,itis available electronically through the Routledge library network that includes nearly 10,000 libraries worldwide.

Journal of Borderlands Studies, a Routledge Publication

Please note that although it is becoming a more expensive library subscription,JBSwillremainavailabletoourmembersinprintandonline,andourJBSarticledatabasenowcontainsnearly300papers(http://uvic.ca/borderlands).

Obviously, none of this was possible without the support of the membership, but we need to point especially to the work of our board ofdirectors,oureditorialandinternationaladvisoryboards,particularlytheir chairs, Joan Anderson (San Diego) and David Newman (Ben Gurion),andtheexecutivemembersoftheABS;pastpresidentTonyPayan (UTEP), president Javier Duran (Arizona), our president elect HeatherNicol(Trent),vice‐presidentChristineBrenner(Rutgers),anddeputy vice-president Victor Konrad (Carleton) whose kind stewardship and ongoing support and advice made all this possible in 2010. Evert Lindquist,DirectoroftheSchoolofPublicAdministration,andMary Ellen Purkis, Dean of the Faculty of Human and Social Development at the UVic provided advice and resources. Finally, without the daily supportandoutstandingprofessionalismoftheUVicteam,specificallyJenniferGuest,ArielleGuetta,andTheaVakiloftheCPSS,thiswouldhave never happened.

Editors: Harlan Koff and Carmen Maganda

Due to the dramatic changes in global affairsrelated to regional integration, studies can nolonger be limited to the analysis of economic competitiveness and political power in globalgeopolitics. Regions and Cohesion is a neededplatform for academics and practitioners alike to disseminate both empirical research and normative analysis of topics related to human and environmental security, social cohesion, andgovernance. It covers themes, such as the management of strategic resources, environmentand society, social risk and marginalization,disasters and policy responses, violence, war andurban security, the quality of democracy, develop-ment, public health, immigration, human rights,organized crime, and cross-border human security.

Interdisciplinary in nature and multi-lingual in character (English, French, Spanish),the journal promotes the comparative examination of the human and environmentalimpacts of various aspects of regional integration across geographic areas, time periods, and policy arenas.

BORDER STUDIES

Gender Violence at the U.S.–Mexico BorderMedia Representation and Public ResponseEdited by HÉCTOR DOMÍNGUEZ-RUVAL-CABA, and IGNACIO CORONAContributors to this volume propose that the study of gender-motivated violence requires interpretive and analytical strategies that draw on methods reaching across the divide between the social sciences and the humanities. Through such an interdisciplinary conversation, the book examines how such violence is (re)presented in oral narratives, newspaper reports, films and documentaries, novels, TV series, and legal discourse.224 pp. / $50.00 cloth

Human Rights along the U.S.–Mexico BorderGendered Violence and InsecurityEdited by KATHLEEN STAUDT, TONY PAYAN, and Z. ANTHONY KRUSZEWSKIFrom the Pacific to the Gulf of Mexico, scholars from both sides of the 2,000-mile border reflect expertise in disciplines ranging from international relations to criminal justice, conveying a more complex picture of the region than that presented in other studies.248 pp. / $50.00 Cloth / $24.95 Paper

Economics

An Impossible Living in a Transborder WorldCulture, Confianza, and Economy of Mexican-Origin PopulationsCARLOS VÉLEZ-IBÁÑEZIn a border region where migration, class movement, economic changes, and institutional inaccessibility produce a great deal of uncertainty, Mexican-origin populations rely on confianza and rotating savings and credit associations (ROSCAs) to maintain a sense of security in daily life.264 pp. / $24.95 Paper

Labor Market Issues along the U.S.–Mexico BorderEdited by MARIE T. MORA and ALBERTO DÁVILAContributors to this volume take up issues that dominate the current discourse—migration, trade, gender, education, earnings, and employment. They analyze labor conditions and their relationship to immigration, and also provide insight into income levels and population concentrations, the relative prosperity of Mexico’s border region, and NAFTA’s impact on trade and living conditions.272 pp. / $49.00 Cloth

The Borders of InequalityWhere Wealth and Poverty CollideÍÑIGO MORÉ; Translated by LYN DOMINGUEZIn this fascinating book, originally published in Spain to much acclaim, researcher Íñigo Moré engages in a comparative study of twenty of the most unequal borders on Earth. What he finds is that many of these border situations share similar characteristics. There is always illegal immigration from the poor country to the wealthy one. There is always trafficking in illegal substances. And the unequal neighbors usually regard each other with suspicion or even open hostility.192 pp. / $45.00 Cloth

The Colonias ReaderEconomy, Housing and Public Health in U.S.–Mexico Border ColoniasEdited by ANGELA J. DONELSON and ADRIAN X. ESPARZAThis is the first book to present a broad overview of these communities, offering a glimpse into life in the colonias and the circumstances that allow them to continue to exist—and even grow—in persistent poverty. The contributors document the depth of existing problems in each state and describe how government agencies, nongovernmental organizations, and community activists have mobilized resources to overcome obstacles to progress.304 pp. / $24.95 Paper

“I Know It’s Dangerous”Why Mexicans Risk Their Lives to Cross the BorderLYNNAIRE M. SHERIDANAs an Australian national, Lynnaire Sheridan brings a refreshingly neutral voice to this hot-button topic. With data gathered over two years of living in Baja California, Mexico, Sheridan draws out individual stories, motivations, and conceptions of risk that ultimately allow us a deeper understanding of migration. Sheridan enriches the migrants’ stories with in-depth interviews. These narratives show us that risk has become a strong motivating factor for migrants and that stricter border policies have not necessarily stemmed the rates of migration; they have merely changed how people migrate. 232 pp. / $24.95 Paper

The Law Into Their Own HandsImmigration and the Politics of ExceptionalismROXANNE LYNN DOTYDoty examines the social and political contexts that have enabled anti-immigrant civilian groups to flourish and gain legitimacy amongst policy makers and the public. The sentiments underlying the vigilante movement both draw upon and are channeled through a diverse range of organizations whose messages are often reinforced by the media. Taking action when they believe official policy is lacking, groups ranging from elements of the religious right to anti-immigrant groups to white supremacists have created a social movement. 176 pp. / $19.95 Paper
