Reviews

"At long last there is a good book on one of the most-talked-about but least-understood regions of the world. . . . Arreola and Curtis utilize an engaging informal style of writing that makes the book a pleasure to read. . . . It is both a solid regional geography and, to some degree, an architectural and social guide to an area long ignored by serious writers. It is also a fun book."--Geographical Review "The authors are to be congratulated for providing a wealth of detailed information about Mexican border cities."--Annuals of American Geographers "Engagingly and clearly written . . . arguably the best book on Mexican border cities to date."--Southwest Historical Quarterly
