Emily Celeste Vázquez Enríquez is an assistant professor of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of California Davis. In Border Biomes, Emily Vázquez Enríquez examines how fortified borders between Mexico, the United States, and Guatemala inflict intertwined human and ecological harm. Through analyses of Mexican, Latinx, and Indigenous literature by writers such as Dolores Dorantes, Natalie Diaz, and Ofelia Zepeda, she reveals how borders devastate rivers, deserts, and forests while perpetuating state-sanctioned racial violence. Drawing on Indigenous epistemologies, Vázquez Enríquez challenges the idea of borders as fixed and national literatures as bounded, instead proposing that literature can expose and resist the ecological and social violence of bordering regimes.
