"This book is that the U.S.-Mexico border region is subject to systematic oppression and that the so-called social pathologies that we see in the region are by-products of social and economic injustice in the form of labor exploitation, environmental racism, immigration militarism, institutional sexism and discrimination, health inequities, a political economy based on low-wage labor, and the globalization of labor and capital. The chapters address a variety of examples of injustice in the areas of environment, health disparity, migration unemployment, citizenship, women and gender violence, mental health, and drug violence. The book proposes a pathway to development."

"Tesis ini membicarakan gambaran perjuangan seorang wanita imigran Swedia yang bernama Alexandra di wilayah frontir Divide, Nebraska, Amerika Serikat. Sebagai seorang imigran wanita yang hidup di wilayah yang dikenal sebagai ?the wild land? (wilayah yang liar) dan masih menganut budaya patriarki (budaya masyarakat yang masih meletakkan laki-laki pada posisi dan kekuasaan yang dominan dibandingkan wanita), dia harus berjuang keras untuk mencapai impiannya. Dengan kemampuannya dalam beradaptasi dengan lingkungan barunya, Alexandra berhasil menyerap nilai-nilai Amerika, seperti kerja keras, optimis, mandiri dan kapitalistik. Dengan nilai-nilai tersebut dan didukung semangat feminisme yang tinggi, akhirnya Alexandra mampu menunjukkan dirinya sebagai wanita frontir yang berhasil menggapai American Dream (impian Amerika) nya.
