La Frontera: Paisajes Humanos y Naturales/ The Border: Human and Natural Landscapes
For ten weeks during the summer of 1999 I traveled from Tijuana to Matamoros along the Mexican-U.S. border. My journey was mostly by bus along the Mexican side of the geographic line. I stayed with social workers, with members of church organizations, in migrant homes, and in women’s shelters. I am interested in how migrant women live in this region: women who travel north from parts of Mexico and Latin America looking for better work opportunities along the border itself, or who intend to cross the border to the United States and cannot. These images represent a portion of what I witnessed.
