520    From the boundary survey of the 1850s to the ever-
       expanding fences and highway networks of the twenty-first 
       century, Border Land, Border Water examines the history of
       the construction projects that have shaped the region 
       where the United States and Mexico meet. Tracing the 
       accretion of ports of entry, boundary markers, 
       transportation networks, fences and barriers, surveillance
       infrastructure, and dams and other river engineering 
       projects, C. J. Alvarez advances a broad chronological 
       narrative that captures the full life cycle of border 
       building. He explains how initial ground-breaking in the 
       nineteenth century transitioned to unbridled faith in the 
       capacity to control the movement of people, goods, and 
       water through the use of physical structures. By the 1960s,
       however, the built environment of the border began to 
       display increasingly obvious systemic flaws. More often 
       than not, Alvarez shows, federal agencies in both 
       countries responded with more construction--"compensatory 
       building" designed to mitigate unsustainable policies 
       relating to immigration, black markets, and the natural 
       world. Border Land, Border Water reframes our 
       understanding of how the border has come to look and 
       function as it does and is essential to current debates 
       about the future of the US-Mexico divide. -- Dust jacket
