Este libro reúne un conjunto de estudios sobre grupos de personas que han llegado a la zona metropolitana de Guadalajara y la Ribera de Chapala para comprender sus procesos de asentamiento y reinvención, así como los desafíos que se nos presentan como sociedad de acogida. La obra, que busca contribuir a la reflexión sobre los compromisos que presenta la inmigración y el reconocimiento de cómo su diversidad cultural nos reconfigura y enriquece, presenta un amplio panorama de esta dinámica poblacional, al tiempo que profundiza en la articulación de los flujos migratorios internos, de estados vecinos y de poblaciones indígenas, con la llegada de grupos diversos de inmigrantes extranjeros que se establecen, estudian o hacen negocios en este entorno. Dirigida a estudiantes, investigadores y profesionales, al igual que a funcionarios públicos relacionados con el tema.

Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.

"Since the Mexican government escalated its war on organized crime at the end of 2006, over 150,000 Mexicans have been intentionally murdered. Countless thousands of others have been tortured; no one knows how many have disappeared. Caught between government forces and organized crime cartels, the Mexican people have suffered as atrocities and impunity reign. Based on three years of research, over 100 interviews, and previously unreleased government documents, this report finds a reasonable basis to believe that government forces and members of criminal cartels have perpetrated crimes against humanity in Mexico. The report comprehensively examines why there has been so little justice for atrocity crimes, and finds the main answers in political obstruction. Given the lack of political will to end impunity, new approaches must be taken. The report argues for a series of institutional changes, most importantly the creation of an internationalized investigative body, based inside Mexico, with powers to independently investigate and prosecute atrocity crimes."--Page 4 of cover.
