- W2462343571 abstract "Today we hear little of frontiers but much of borders. The entire concept of the frontier has been critiqued and in America is primarily associated with the growth of the nation in the past and the exploration of space in the future. At the beginning of the twentieth century, historians focused on understanding the meaning of the United States' vanishing frontier. As the country became more thickly settled, more thoroughly mapped, more completely tamed, the frontier was vanishing in reality but still strong in the mind of a nation that had defined itself in terms of the frontier for so long. As westward expansion caused the frontier - that space where one side represents civilization and the other is unknown and wild - to move and to shrink and to vanish, borders gained ground. Borders replaced the frontier because once the unknown was settled, there were still boundaries marking lines between countries and cultures. By the end of the century, borders have become a significant and growing area of study as the many groups within the nation attempt to assert their individual voices along the lines that attempt to define and contain them. The changing focus, from frontier to border, hints at the way borders, those who move across them, and the way they are studied, have changed over the course of the twentieth century. By the 1950s, literary critic, folklore professor, and fiction author Americo Paredes began writing what can be seen as the first approach that recognizes the border, rather than the frontier, as a significant aspect of the body of thought. Paredes made a name for himself first as a folklorist who studied the border ballads of the Rio Grande valley. He later moved on to prominence as a professor at the University of Texas in Austin. His scholarly writing was among the first significant work studying the Mexicans and Mexican-Americans in the region. His first major book, With His Pistol in His Hand (1958) is the study of border ballads that tell the story of Mexican-American folk hero, Gregorio Cortez. But in addition to studying the story of an inspirational folk hero, Paredes's own life takes on the trappings of the very hero he writes about." @default.
