By documenting the artistic and social expressions of this border city, Josh Kun and Fiamma Montezemolo reveal what motivates us and what makes us proud as\u003ci\u003e tijuanenses\u003c\/i\u003e: living in a city so full of inspiration and possibility.\"—\u003cb\u003eRamón Amezcua\u003c\/b\u003e, aka Bostich, of Nortec Collective\u003cbr\u003e\"This is an exciting and timely collection of cultural criticism and creative work. The selections are inspired, alert to a wide spectrum of practices and debates. Personal narratives, urban development, art, literature, photography, and architecture are just some of the matters covered in this rich and thought-provoking conversation, and the foreword by Iain Chambers provides the perfect framing device, linking Tijuana to global studies and critical inquiry.\"—\u003cb\u003eRoberto Tejada\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003eNational Camera: Photography and Mexico's Image Environment\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“An eclectic anthology of critical cultural studies, \u003ci\u003eTijuana Dreaming\u003c\/i\u003e brings to life the tumultuous history of the border town’s shifting identity: the Prohibition-era booze-and-brothel magnet adjacent to San Diego, the late-twentieth-century booming free-trade zone of globalized assembly plants, and, most recently, the bloody site of today’s horrific drug-war violence. . . . [T]he volume’s overall high quality makes for a stimulating . . . read.” -- Richard Feinberg * Foreign Affairs *\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eTijuana Dreaming\u003c\/i\u003e is a significant anthology of recent writings on this city from the perspective of art, literature, architecture, music, and film. It is one of the most concentrated studies of the city to date. . . . The anthology also addresses a void in the existing literature on Tijuana through English translations of several texts by prominent Mexican writers, filling out gaps in the border-studies research that circulates in Anglo-American contexts.” -- Lee Rodney * Canadian Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Studies *\u003cbr\u003e“This volume is an enriching and fasci­nating contribution to the study of Tijuana and the Mexico-US borderland, and would be of interest to any scholar with an interest in the culture and history of the region. It is a dynamic, engaging and timely collection of works which address key questions of identity and identification against the backdrop of cultural and sociohistorical processes.” -- Julia Banwell * Bulletin of Hispanic Studies *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments vii\u003cbr\u003e Foreword.
