The border has been an area of negotiation, a place of encounters and interaction that involves communication, intense movement of people, and socio-cultural interactions that converge in this peculiar space. Written by Sarah Luna, Love in the Drug War (2020) compiles face-to-face interviews, pictures, and ﬁ eld research. The purpose of this work is to present a broad and in-depth understanding of the lives of sex workers in the border town of Reynosa, Mexico. It o ﬀ ers insights into the “ love and obligation that inspired peoples ’ journey to the border town ” (3). Luna focuses her research on the prostitution zone known as Boystown. “ Love and obligation ” (3) are what connect the stories of the area ’ s inhabitants. The main characters are sex workers and American missionaries whose journeys are paradoxically linked to service. Furthermore, Luna ’ s work builds upon research on current issues such as migration, mobility, drug cartels, and other topics pertinent to the border region. The book is organized in a way that develops and connects the testimonies collected by Luna. The background research is linked to two di ﬀ erent main groups of migrants. On the one hand, we have the missionaries that come from all over the United States to the border region seeking to help sex workers by delivering God ’ s word to them. On the other hand, we have the sex workers who are mostly migrants from central and southern Mexico. In a way, both missionaries and sex workers are migrants to Boystown, and they are connected by their mission to serve others.","PeriodicalId":45999,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Borderlands Studies","volume":"38 1","pages":"189 - 190"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47965545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Though only 4 percent of the US population lives in proximity to the border, imagining what the wall would look like came easily to most Americans, in part because of how images of the border are reproduced and circulated for national audiences. Border Optics considers the US-Mexico border as one of the most visualized and imagined spaces in the US. As a place of continual crisis, permanent visibility, and territorial defense, the border is rendered as a layered visual space of policing—one that is seen from watchtowers, camera-mounted vehicles, helicopters, surveillance balloons, radar systems, unmanned aerial vehicles, and live streaming websites. It is also a space that is visualized across various forms and genres of media, from maps to geographical surveys, military strategic plans, illustrations, photographs, postcards, novels, film, and television, which combine fascination with the region with the visual codes of surveillance and survey. Border Optics elaborates on the expanded vision of the border as a consequence of the interface of militarism, technology, and media. Camilla Fojas describes how the perception of the viewing public is controlled through a booming security-industrial complex made up of entertainment media, local and federal police, prisons and detention centers, the aerospace industry, and all manner of security technology industries. The first study to examine visual codes of surveillance within an analysis of the history and culture of the border region, Border Optics is an innovative and groundbreaking examination of security cultures, race, gender, and colonialism....
