Book Description
Since the late 1970s, a new folk hero has risen to prominence in the U.S.-Mexico border region and beyond—the narcotrafficker. Celebrated in the narcocorrido, a current form of the traditional border song known as the corrido, narcotraffickers are often portrayed as larger-than-life "social bandits" who rise from poor or marginalized backgrounds to positions of power and wealth by operating outside the law and by living a life of excess, challenging authority (whether U.S. or Mexican), and flouting all risks, including death. This image, rooted in Mexican history, has been transformed and commodified by the music industry and by the drug trafficking industry itself into a potent and highly marketable product that has a broad appeal, particularly among those experiencing poverty and power disparities. At the same time, the transformation from folk hero to marketable product raises serious questions about characterizations of narcocorridos as "narratives of resistance." This multilayered ethnography takes a wide-ranging look at the persona of the narcotrafficker and how it has been shaped by Mexican border culture, socioeconomic and power disparities, and the transnational music industry. Mark Edberg begins by analyzing how the narcocorrido emerged from and relates to the traditional corrido and its folk hero. Then, drawing upon interviews and participant-observation with corrido listening audiences in the border zone, as well as musicians and industry producers of narcocorridos, he elucidates how the persona of the narcotrafficker has been created, commodified, and enacted, and why this character resonates so strongly with people who are excluded from traditional power structures. Finally, he takes a look at the concept of the cultural persona itself and its role as both cultural representation and model for practice.

Book Description
S’articulant autour de ces axes que sont le voyage vers le Nouveau Monde, l’histoire du christianisme et de l’évangélisation, le franchissement des frontières et normes, et l’ouverture à l’inconnu, évoquant encore ces figures, religieuses ou littéraires, qui ont franchi, socialement, artistiquement, les au-delà, le recueil « Contrabandista entre mundos fronterizos » nous impose plus particulièrement une autre histoire du continent sud-américain. Un sujet qui ouvre les portes sur différents états de cet espace, et qui soulève, implicitement, les problématiques liées aux échanges, aux rencontres entre civilisations, aux imprégnations et canaux souterrains qui se créent entre ce qui semble aux antipodes les uns des autres. Du monde arabo-musulman aux élans anarcho-féministes de l’Argentine, cet ouvrage collectif offre un radical décentrement et, tout en s’ancrant fréquemment dans un départ du Vieux Continent, place dans la lumière les questions des limites et des barrières, de la liberté et, en creux, de la désillusion générée par une certaine déterritorialisation. Organisées en cinq grands thèmes, autant de recherches à l’intelligence éloquente, riches de l’intransigeance et de la précision de leurs auteurs.

Book Description
Winner, Jim Parish Award for Documentation and Publication of Local and Regional History, Webb County Heritage Foundation, 2015 Present-day smuggling across the U.S.-Mexico border is a professional, often violent, criminal activity. However, it is only the latest chapter in a history of illicit business dealings that stretches back to 1848, when attempts by Mexico and the United States to tax commerce across the Rio Grande upset local trade and caused popular resentment. Rather than acquiesce to what they regarded as arbitrary trade regulations, borderlanders continued to cross goods and accepted many forms of smuggling as just. In Border Contraband, George T. Díaz provides the first history of the common, yet little studied, practice of smuggling across the U.S.-Mexico border. In Part I, he examines the period between 1848 and 1910, when the United States' and Mexico's trade concerns focused on tariff collection and on borderlanders' attempts to avoid paying tariffs by smuggling. Part II begins with the onset of the Mexican Revolution in 1910, when national customs and other security forces on the border shifted their emphasis to the interdiction of prohibited items (particularly guns and drugs) that threatened the state. Díaz's pioneering research explains how greater restrictions have transformed smuggling from a low-level mundane activity, widely accepted and still routinely practiced, into a highly profitable professional criminal enterprise.
