A remarkable analysis about life on the Mexican-U.S border.

Ramon E. Ruiz dispells many of the myhs about life on the Mexican-U.S. border. The chapters are devoted to contrasting the life that exist on the each side of the border. Each chapter is well written and his use of economic analysis is used cleverly to set up countless examples about the cultures that exist along the border. Ruiz writes an essential analysis in the study of Mexican-United States relations. A must read.
