Using archives on both sides of the border, he complicates our analysis of federal and local dynamics, earning a place among the best of the new borderlands historians. --Sarah Deutsch, author of No Separate Refuge: Culture, Class, and Gender on an Anglo-Hispanic Frontier in the American Southwest, 1880-1940 Fevered Measures remaps the border as a space where ideas of race and nation take on new meanings in relation to the development of the state and science. It serves as a superior model for analyzing and narrating the transnational flow of people, ideas, and policies. --Raul A.
