Mexican State of Mind

Explores the cultural and creative lives of the largely young undocumented Mexican population in New York City since Sept. 11, 2001. Inspired by a dialogue between the landmark works of Paul Gilroy and Gloria Anzaldúa, it develops a new analytic framework which bridges Mexican diasporic experiences in New York City and the black diaspora.

A Mexican State of Mind: New York City and the New Borderlands of Culture exploreaza viata culturala si creativa a populatiei mexicane nedocumentate in mare parte tineri din New York City din 11 septembrie 2001. Inspirat de un dialog intre lucrarile de referinta ale lui Paul Gilroy si Gloria Anzaldúa, dezvolta un nou cadru analitic, Atlantic Borderlands, care leaga experientele diasporice mexicane din New York si diaspora neagra, nu ca o comparatie, ci ca recunoastere a faptului ca colonialismul, contactul interrasial si interetnic prin comert, migratie si sclavie sunt conectate prin intermediul economiilor capitaliste si dezvoltarilor tehnologice.
