Mexico and the U.S. are intertwined culturally, economically and politically. Mexico has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past two decades that has made it a more educated, prosperous, and innovative nation than most Americans realize. Through portraits of business leaders, migrants, chefs, movie directors, police officers, and media and sports executives, Andrew Selee looks at this emerging Mexico, showing how it increasingly influences our daily lives in the U.S. in surprising ways – the jobs we do, the goods we consume, and even the new technology and entertainment we enjoy. Join us for a discussion with the author, Andrew Selee, and a panel of key actors from the San Diego-Tijuana border region. The book “Vanishing Frontiers: The Forces Driving Mexico and the United States Together” will be available for sale. The event is co-sponsored by UC San Diego Latin American Studies Program.
