Eric Meeks, associate professor of history, recently published Border Citizens: The Making of Indians, Mexicans and Anglos in Arizona. The book links the construction of racial categories and ethnic identities to the larger process of nation-state building along the U.S.-Mexico border and illustrates how ethnicity can both bring people together and drive them apart. Selected to receive a Southwest Book Award, the book also is up for a Public History Award from the National Council on Public History. University of Texas Press
