Abstract
- Donald Trump's agenda to build a "big" and "beautiful" border wall continues to raise alarms for anyone concerned with social justice and environmental well-being throughout the Mexico-U.S. borderlands. In this article, I examine how the border wall and its surrounding debates raise multiple issues central to political ecological and human geographic scholarship into governance across the organic spectrum. I focus particularly on a comparison of the different kinds of "border thinking" that frame these debates and that provide synergy for those coalitions dedicated to the preservation of diversity throughout the ecological and social landscapes of the Mexico-U.S. borderlands. Key Words: biodiversity, decolonial, feminist, Mexico-U.S. borderlands, neoliberal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
