Hi, I’m Amanda Portillo.
The blog I’ll be working on this semester will look into and follow the research on the borderlands and border culture, by universities like our own, and others across the U.S. (especially universities in border states).
The area of study has different names-Mexican American, Raza, Chicana/o, Latina/o- and teaches history as well as more contemporary, social and political issues in Mexican American communities. In addition, professors in the field are well-known researchers and authors.
My blog will explore the culture and science of these studies. I think I’ll call it Studying the Border… but I’m still working on the title.
