In San Diego, the neighboring city of Tijuana has a reputation for vice and violence, yet there are many other possible narratives about Tijuana as a place. This introduction lays out the questions and summarizes the main arguments for the book, which examines the ways that Tijuana has been stigmatized over time and how that stigma reinforces local inequalities and borders. More broadly, this case study contributes theoretically to literatures on border theory, territorial stigmatization, and spatial inequalities. The introduction offers a brief discussion of methods and data (including the analysis of archival materials, qualitative interviews in San Diego and Tijuana, and photojournalism representations), as well as an overview of the book. |
