About this title

Synopsis

Ebook available to libraries exclusively as part of the JSTOR Path to Open initiative.

Border Mapping: A Participatory Community-Mapping Design of the Mexico-USA Borderlands responds to the global state of the “border crisis” from a localized perspective with its focus on one of the most active international borders on the Mexico-US border: the borderland region encompassing Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico and El Paso, Texas, USA. This book contributes timely scholarship on border violence and challenges the colonial logic of cartographic design of Juarez-El Paso border maps by demonstrating how participatory communication design can assist in the decolonization of border spaces. Through its participatory mapping framework, this book brings a rhetorical border studies approach to map design, positions borderlands residents as the creators and owners of their own space and explores rhetorical-ethical ways of humanizing borders.
