The study of borderlandsplaces where different peoples meet and no one polity reigns supremeis undergoing a renaissance. The David J. Weber Series in the New Borderlands History publishes works from both established and emerging scholars that examine borderlands from the precontact era to the present. The series explores contested boundaries and the intercultural dynamics surrounding them and includes projects covering a wide range of time and space within North America and beyond, including both Atlantic and Pacific worlds.

Corazn de Dixie

Introduction

A dark-skinned man, his face under the shadow of a brimmed hat, leans back against a corrugated metal wall (fig. 1). A beer advertisement marks the place as a bar. In the distance, two still darker figures walk along an unpaved street in a commercial district. It is November 1949 at the close of the cotton picking season in Marked Tree, Arkansas. The setting is the black side of town; the man in the foreground is Mexican. A Mexican Foreign Service officer, Rubn Gaxiola, took this photo in the fall of 1949. He had it printed and added a caption: Goldcrest Beer 51Caf-bar. Corrugated metal construction. At the side of this establishment there is a sign that says, Garzias Mexicanas Servesa. In this place, blacks and also Mexicans are served. Then the bureaucrat placed the photo in an envelope with nine other images documenting Mexicans racial position in Marked Tree and mailed it off to Mexico City, where another bureaucrat would review them and consider banning Mexican workers from Marked Trees cotton fields.
