Join us on a mini fieldtrip to the “border” inside metro Phoenix. We take the border as a zone of interaction where the US and another country come together, intersect, butt up against or bleed
into each other, whether in an easy blend or a contentious edginess. Here we track ways that migrants have created such social/geographical “border” spaces throughout the Phoenix metro area.
The global city concentrates diversity. Its spaces are inscribed with the dominant corporate culture
but also with a multiplicity of other cultures and identities, notably through immigration.
