"""Fires on the Border addresses a clear gap in the scholarship on transnational movements and organizing along the Mexico-U.S. divide: the role of sexuality in the creation of affective bonds within social alliances and political networks that span the grassroots to the transnational. In this timely, excellent book, Rosemary Hennessy incorporates a political economic analysis in her discussion of affective alliances in social movements (binational and/or transnational) among workers affected by the maquiladora industry."" —Melissa W. Wright, author of Disposable Women and Other Myths of Global Capitalism"
