Abstract

Steven W. Bender, actualmente profesor de derecho en la Seattle University y nieto de mexicanos establecidos en California, se ha especializado en las políticas de migración, vivienda o lengua aplicadas a la población latina, especialmente mexicana, en Estados Unidos. Junto al enfoque jurídico que cabe esperar de su formación, también se ha interesado por los estereotipos –predominantemente negativos– que sobre México y los mexicanos (y mexicoestadounidenses) la población angloamericana ha construido e insertado en la cultura popular, y por su influencia directa en el diseño y aplicación de dichas políticas. De ello resulta un enfoque sugerente y novedoso que engloba desde el análisis de películas, canciones y novelas hasta el análisis de textos jurídicos, todo ello en un marco histórico que cubre los más de 150 años desde que se fijó la actual frontera entre ambos países.
