Isn't there a song about that? If not, there should be. If you fly in New England, you've probably found yourself stuck in the most depressing airport in America.
Munoz examines the plight of workers on both sides of the US-Mexican border in a transnational tortilla company. He argues that while both sets of workers confront a despotic labor regime, the context for labor exploitation differs relative to a worker's location on the US-Mexico border. Despite the challenges facing both workers, he suggests that the perishability of tortillas and their consumption by Latino communities leave tortilla companies highly vulnerable to strikes and boycotts, especially if such actions were strengthened by cross-border labor solidarity.

Midnight meetings at Eastern European cafes, a code word offered, a response, a man in a fedora walks out the door to the left instead of the right and the word is passed, the world changed. That's the way I imagine it, anyway. The very name of the group of agencies doing this work, "Intelligence Community," speaks of a place closed to all but the smartest and the swift.

In a glass case, a mounted South American macaw stares out at anyone who walks through the schools front doors. Its blue and yellow feathers are preserved and its wings are now immobile.

The Niagara Escarpment drops the earth's crust: a geological fault forming Lake Ontario's basin. For the Tuscarora, the craggy- faced cliff defends everything that has gone before, immobile and immutable. The Tuscarora Reservation stands on the northern border between the U.S. and Canada. A nation perched on a cliff, indistinguishable in some parts except for some green signs that say Tuscarora Indian Nation and Smokin' Joes Trading Post.
WHILE the General Assembly was busy passing Connecticut's education reform bill, New Yorkers were preoccupied with a talking pineapple. The notorious question on New York's eighth-grade reading test involves a pineapple that challenges a hare to a race.
