HERNANDEZ HERNANDEZ, Alberto. Smuggling, illegality and circulation in the US-Mexico border: the case of Tijuana-San Diego. Estud. front [online]. 2021, vol.22, e077. Epub 04-Abr-2022. ISSN 2395-9134. https://doi.org/10.21670/ref.2114077.
This paper explains the state of the United States-Mexico border regarding the smuggling of different types of merchandise, particularly in the Tijuana-San Diego border. It argues that the divide between both countries works differently depending on the direction and the type of merchandise being transported. Using ethnographic data collected during a 20-year period, the paper shows specific patterns of consumption that vary, depending on the direction in which the border is crossed. These differences go on to show the different wants and needs of people living in the border region.
