- W264426448 abstract "Economic development and population growth along the U.S.-Mexico border have been determined by the natural resources available for the physical and social transformations in this region. A critical political ecology of the U.S.-Mexico border links environmental hazards with the socioeconomic and political aspects that have generated colonia population settlements as locales within the border region’s spatialized hierarchies. The political ecological approach to community development processes also brings in the larger border issues associated with Mexico and the United States. By exploring human-environmental challenges facing colonia residents, we can gain valuable insights into ecological vulnerabilities also faced by similar population settlements in other regions of the United States. This article applies a political ecological model that examines the transformation of farmland into unincorporated population settlements known as colonias on the U.S.Mexico border and the pressing environmental issues contributing the region’s precarious living conditions. Economic development and population growth along the U.S.-Mexico border has been determined by the natural resources available for the physical and social transformations in this region. Debates over natural resources, particularly land and water, are deeply tied to the history and development of the U.S.-Mexico border (Herzog 1990, 1999; Lorey 1997; Pena 1997). Environmental disasters, although “natural,” affect certain population segments more than others because of the social vulnerabilities to which subsections of the population are exposed. Ecological vulnerabilities along the border are developed when natural disasters occur and social-structural inequalities exist. A critical political ecology of the U.S.-Mexico border links environmental hazards with the socioeconomic and political aspects that have generated colonia population settlements as locales within the border region’s spatialized hierarchies. The political ecological approach to community development processes also brings in the larger border issues associated with Mexico and the United States. The contamination of trans-border ground and surface water resources, the lack of proper disposal of liquid, solid, and air-bound hazardous waste, and an inadequate environmental infrastructure have had *The author would like to acknowledge UC Riverside's Ernesto Galarza Applied Research Center under the direction of Dr. Carlos G.
