Review Quotes

Politics of the Rio Grande Valley: An Insider's Perspective to Regional Politics is a must-read contribution, bringing together authors who live, experience, and research the Rio Grande Valley. Covering an array of topics, from the environment to border policies and political behavior, this volume offers readers an in-depth understanding of the multiple factors that shape what is a fast-growing border region, at the junction of state, national and international politics. While this volume offers a clear contribution to border studies, as the authors do not shy away from the role the border plays in the region, it also presents readers with an analysis of multiple issues that collide and co-exist in the Rio Grande Valley beyond the border.
