“…made interaction complex. Stoddard's (1986) retrospective of what was then an emerging area of study refers to these years as the culmination of the sixdecade-long period of "Interpretive Research" which, according to his measure, followed the "Early Empiricism" before World War I and persisted until the 1980s. 2 Motivated by the study of the U.S.-Mexico borderlands-a zone on the Northern American map seen to evince "pathologies" in need of scholarly inquiry-the research of this period privileged themes of difference and penetration (migration, disease) and of conflict (interstate and intergroup).…”

Whilst thirteen researchers participated in writing the various chapters, two of them also substantially contributed to the process of combining it all together into one book. Dr. Steven Parham did the language-editing for the chapters, which in their manuscripts varied considerably in their linguistic style due to the large number of non-native speakers. M.Soc.Sc. Vadim Romashov prepared the index, the bibliography, and edited the voluminous citation system, including transliterations from the Cyrillic to the Latin script. Parham and Romashov also commented on the manuscripts. Their contributions were irreplaceable and not only decisively eased the editor's burdens: they also created a team atmosphere through mutual support that has had value beyond measure.Unlike the other contributors, who all were researchers in the project, Professor Renée Marlin-Bennett participated as our "external" commentator. She did so in a workshop for launching the book project and also acted as the discussant for a panel that the project organized for the First ABS

“…1 Initially, "borderland" studies referred specifically to the study of the U.S.-Mexico borderlands, a place where differences of language, ethnicity, wealth, and political systems made interaction complex. Stoddard's (1986) retrospective of what was then an emerging area of study refers to these years as the culmination of the sixdecade-long period of "Interpretive Research" which, according to his measure, followed the "Early Empiricism" before World War I and persisted until the 1980s. 2 Motivated by the study of the U.S.-Mexico borderlands-a zone on the Northern American map seen to evince "pathologies" in need of scholarly inquiry-the research of this period privileged themes of difference and penetration (migration, disease) and of conflict (interstate and intergroup).…”

“…Spätestens seit den 1980er-Jahren lässt sich dann ein Forschungsfokus ausmachen, der als Anthropology of Borderlands die Herausbildung von border cultures in Regionen an und über Grenzen hinweg zum Gegenstand macht. Paradigmatisches Beispiel ist hier die US-mexikanische Grenze, wie sie klassisch etwa bei Stoddard (1986) und Alvarez (1995) behandelt wird. Diese anthropologischen Grenzraumstudien fragen danach, wie sich Grenzkulturen durch historisch geformte, homogene wie heterogene Identitätszuschreibungen, kulturelle Praktiken und Verhältnisse von Kooperation und Konflikt auszeichnen und Aufschluss über die Bedeutung und Symbolik der Grenze für das border life sogenannter borderlanders geben.…”
