Summary:

"Over the last two years, David Morison Portillo has been traversing the U.S.-Mexico border in an unusual way: he chooses an evening and then crosses repeatedly without stopping. In this provocative performance, the state's violence-- enacted and enforced by border officers-- is rarefied, exposed, slowed, and at times, completely subverted. This book is a conversation between anthropologist Rihan Yeh and Morison, who discuss the different meanings and risks of this simultaneous performance-protest. "--Back cover
