What is it like to cross the Mexico-US border every day just to go to school? Imagine waking before dawn, crossing an international border alone and navigating a school system that wasn't built for you.

This book follows former transborder learners-students who lived in Mexico before the pandemic and studied in the US -as they go about their daily routines. From militarised checkpoints to exclusive classroom dynamics, these young people reveal a border that is lived, felt and constantly negotiated.

Through their voices, the book challenges dominant ideas of security and control, offering a powerful case for transborder policies rooted in care, connection and the everyday realities of youth who live between nations.

Reviews for Politics and Practices of Transborderism: Identity and Education at the Mexico–US Border

‘This book provides a wealth of information (both conceptually and empirically) on the not yet very well-developed theme of experiences in cross-border education.’ Martin van der Velde, Radboud University
