Cross Border Migrations and Cultural Anthropology Prompt:
What are the effects of cross-border migrations on the people left behind? How has transnational migration reshaped the relationships that migrating individuals have with their previous communities? How has information technology and the ability to travel internationally reshaped the ways migrants interact with family members that did not travel with them? How has the current political climate in the United States affected undocumented immigrants to this country? I am an anthropologist because I care about people. I am an archaeologist because I know our past is relevant to our present and future. Our Borderlands are areas of enduring relevance to both fields of study.
