Borderlands and identity---migration and representation
"This dissertation addresses the effects of globalization on literary and cinematic productions from the United States and Mexico in regard to the shared experiences of migration insofar as demonstrated by intensified levels of technology, movement, marginalization, and transformation of once national identities into transnational identities defined by culture and common experiences. At the same time, it also proposes a glimpse into the role of transnational companies and neo-liberal policies in diminishing the national identities of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries into stateless-transnational subjects. In addition to contemplating theories of globalization, the selections for the corpus of this study physically or thematically originate from Northern Mexico, and the Mexican-American ideological border regions of the United States."--From abstract.
