| Summary |
The configuration of new identities on the southern California border is urgent and relevant due to its many social conflicts. These conflicts are exacerbated because of the sharp economic crisis throughout the region. Perhaps one can find some explanation for the ruining of large swaths of social life in the Californian southern border in these "Other Voices." On the other hand, in the unfolding of these "Other Voices" we hear and visualize the life experiences of identities that enter into conflict with the delineated models promoted by the culture industry and advertising. To read their accounts is to perceive the echo of the voices that profoundly make up our social and border identities; those that the omnipresent mass media blurs and distorts.--Alejandro Solomianski |
