Bordered
Sexualities
Bodies
on the
Verge of a Nation
edited by William Anthony Nericcio
Summer 2008 will witness the long-awaited and much rumored appearance of Hyperbole Books's anthology
Bordered Sexualities.
Bordered Sexualities includes brief, tightly-focused essays that
specifically address the aesthetic, cultural, and anthropological
singularities
of sexual phenomena born along the line dividing and defining the
United
States of America y los Estados Unidos Mexicanos. Contributors include
Carlos Fuentes, Marisela Norte, Oliver Mayer, Jorge Huerta,
and others.
 Borderlands are vibrant, cultural zones of conflict
and exchange; border denizens live both "on the verge" and "in the verge" and this volume specifically examines sexually-charged aspects of this singular
space. Bordered Sexualities
features critical essays on works of literature, photography, and film
AND radical examples of literature, photography and film from these borderlands.
In short, "Bordered Sexualities" both EMBODIES and ANALYZES erotic
mestiza media. Bordered Sexualities
bridges SDSU Press's CODE[X] line
of critical theory volumes and the surTEXT
line of U.S.-Mexican border cultural studies. In addition, the book reflects
our desire to appeal to a growing need for lively, dynamic texts for undergraduate
and graduate students in Women's Studies, Gender Studies, Ethnic Studies,
and Area Studies in general.
