The author offers a comprehensive study of Mexican photography from the early twentieth century to today, demonstrating how images have shaped identities in Mexico, the United States, and in the borderlands where the two nations and cultures intersect-the shared image environment. Cross-cultural expisodes that are contradictory, especially in terms of cultural and sexual difference are discussed. Analyzing such topics as territory, sexuality, and social and ethnic relations in image making, the author traces the connective thread that photography has provided between Mexican and U.S. American intellectual and cultural production, and in doing so, defines both nations.==Back cover.
