Mexico Says Construction on Three Dams in Sonora Will Begin in July. Locals are Concerned. According to residents, officials have not produced an environmental impact statement, structural plans, or a cost-benefit analysis, nor have they consulted affected communities, as required by law.

Important piece by @cetracey.bsky.social and also a new translation of ejido (to me anyway) - "ranching collective", I like it www.theborderchronicle.com/p/mexico-say...

The state of Sonora is one of the border states hardest hit by drought. Now Claudia Sheinbaum's govt is proposing 3 new dams. A local farmer sums up local sentiment best: “There’s no water,” said Díaz-Caravantes. “What good are three empty dams?” A great new piece today by @cetracey.bsky.social 🦂

A Generation of Injustice at Tyson Foods Alice Driver’s Life and Death of the American Worker, an intimate look at a processing plant in Arkansas, exposes the inhumanity of a workplace and how workers fought back.

For @thenation.com, I wrote about Alice Driver’s book, The Death and Life of the American Worker, about Mexican and Central immigrant organizing in the poultry processing plants of Arkansas—an important contribution to US labor journalism:

Review of dear @ambliopia.bsky.social’s not to be missed The Company — finally published in English! @cetracey.bsky.social does a great job threading Verónica Gerber Bicecci’s previous work, so if you’re new to her fabulous books, this is a good starting point.

Form, Object, Art | Los Angeles Review of Books Caroline Tracey probes the experimental book-art of Mexican author Verónica Gerber Bicecci.

"It is a meditation on mining and the damages of extraction, rendered through physical form, temporality, words, and images." @cetracey.bsky.social assesses the experimental book-art of Mexican author Verónica Gerber Bicecci. lareviewofbooks.org/article/form...

How Artists Rethink the Border's Water Crisis Taking back the Rio Grande/Río Bravo as a river, not a border checkpoint.

For @theborderchronicle.bsky.social I wrote about how artists help us reframe the conflict between the US and Mexico over the waters of the Rio Grande/Río Bravo:

Border Chronicle Weekly Roundup: May 9 Caroline Tracey on reporting in Sonora on binational bird conservation, Melissa on Trump's new militarized border zones, and water treaties. Plus, send in your questions for border expert Tim Dunn.

In this week's Border Chronicle roundup we have some good news from @cetracey.bsky.social about a binational effort to save North America's birds. Then we got some Trump bad news (ah so much of it) about new militarized national defense areas on the border. A govt. source says CA and AZ are next. 🦂🤒

New article in PHG! In this essay I highlight the incredible work of queer theorists on critiquing systems of gender, sexuality, and race within our built environment. Next I argue for the epistemic potential of overlooked spaces, namely the borderland, to rethink how we build our world, literally.

Felicidades!

For @theborderchronicle.bsky.social, I reported on the fight against the Saguaro Energía gas pipeline and export terminal—one of the biggest threats to the Sonoran Desert, the Gulf of California, and in turn the world’s marine biodiversity.

Thanks for reading and sharing!

This is a great piece from @cetracey.bsky.social and @theborderchronicle.bsky.social. I have some more coverage here on the Sierra Madre pipeline and the many problems with the financing for Saguaro LNG
