Product details
"Coyotes en el cine fronterizo" analyzes the role of human smugglers in the context of the United States-Mexico border. Author Juan Villa identifies the different types and functions of human smugglers or "coyotes" by studying their characterizations in Mexican and American border-related film productions. This gives Villa's literary work a very unique and appealing perspective. The author reveals the ambivalent nature of "coyotes" as they help people without documents cross the border into the U.S., and by distinguishing the malevolent nature of the human smuggler as well as the nature of the benevolent one. This book offers a socio-historic background that begins with the establishment of the US-Mexico border to some of the most recent events related to the ongoing immigration debate between these countries. Furthermore, it explains how the first attempts to bring under control the flow of people across the then new 1951-mile border between Mexico and the United States originated the role of human smugglers, the evolution of their functions over time, and the changing dynamics of one of the busiest and controversial borders of the world. The book is written in Spanish, includes footnotes, some quotes in English, and detailed definitions, which makes it suitable for study and the general public. Juan Villa is an Arizona-based journalist, researcher and author. He holds a bachelor degree in journalism and a master's degree in Mexican American Literature. He has worked in print, radio and television media. His proximity to the US-Border and residency in Arizona --deemed the U.S. "ground zero" of the immigration debate-- further validates the authority of this his first book. "Coyotes en el cine fronterizo" analiza el papel de los contrabandistas de humanos en el contexto de la frontera Estados Unidos-México. El autor, Juan Villa, identifica los diferentes tipos y funciones de los contrabandistas de humanos o "coyotes", al estudiar su personificación en producciones de pelÃculas mexicanas y estadounidenses relacionadas a la tema de la frontera. Esto le da al trabajo literario de Villa una perspectiva única e interesante. El autor revela la naturaleza ambivalente de los "coyotes" al ayudar éstos a personas sin documentos a cruzar la frontera hacia los Estados Unidos, y distingue la naturaleza malévola del traficante de humanos asà como la naturaleza del que es benévolo. Este libro ofrece un trasfondo socio-histórico que comienza con el establecimiento de la frontera Estados Unidos-México, hasta algunos de los más recientes sucesos relacionados al continuo debate migratorio entre estos paÃses. Villa explica cómo los primeros intentos para controlar el flujo de personas a través de la entonces nueva frontera de 3,141 kilómetros entre México y Estados Unidos, originaron el papel de los contrabandistas de humanos, asà como una evolución de sus funciones a través del tiempo, y basada en las dinámicas cambiantes de una de las fronteras más transitadas y controversiales del mundo. El libro está escrito en español, incluye notas al pie de página, y algunas citas en inglés, lo cual lo hace ideal para el estudio asà como accesible al público en general. Juan Villa es un periodista, investigador y autor radicado en Arizona. Cuenta con una licenciatura en periodismo y una maestrÃa en literatura México-americana, ambas obtenidas en la Universidad Estatal de Arizona. Él ha trabajado en medios impresos, radio y televisión.
