"Levario's Militarizing the Border offers readers a gripping
analytical narrative of US state policing of ethnic Mexicans in the
far west Texas and the New Mexico borderlands from 1893 and 1933. .
. The book examines how border people's perceived transgressions
against Anglo authority linked the Mexican community with criminal
activity in the minds of officials in Austin and Washington. . .
Militarizing the Border makes a substantial contribution to
borderlands, migration, and Mexican American history. . . Levario's
book shows readers that today's problems are not
new."--H-Net--George T. Diaz "H-Net" (11/25/2013 12:00:00 AM)

experience."--Alex M. Saragoza, department of Comparative Ethnic
Studies, University of California, Berkeley--Alex M. Saragoza

"Miguel Levario, a scholar and a member of the history department
at Texas Tech University, has put together a well-researched work
on the Texas-Mexican border at the turn of the twentieth century."
--Journal of South Texas-- "Journal of South Texas"
"Miguel Levario's Militarizing the Border is well written and
extensively researched. Militarizing the Border makes an important
contribution to Borderlands, Mexican American, and Latino history
by examining the delicate interplay between vigilante, state, and
federal institutions and border communities, as well as the
consequences for ethnic Mexicans, at the turn of the century. This
is a fabulous work of historical scholarship. Levario's book is
timely, not only because it examines how Mexicans were made to be
the enemy, but also because it helps contextualize much of the
animosity that drives current debates around immigration
reform."-Felipe Hinojosa--Felipe Hinojosa (2/25/2014 12:00:00 AM)
