They allow us to see the past through charming relics that allow us to travel back in time. Daniel D. Arreola's Postcards from the Baja California Border offers a window into the historical and geographical past of storied Mexican border communities. Once-popular tourist destinations from the 1900s through the 1950s, the border communities explored in Postcards from the Baja California Border used to be filled with revelers, cabarets, curio shops, and more. The postcards in this book show the bright and dynamic past of California's borderlands while diving deep into the historic and geographic significance of the imagery found on the postcards. This form of place study calls attention to how we can see a past through a serial view of places, by the nature of repetition, and the photographing of the same place over and over again. Arreola draws our focus to townscapes, or built landscapes, of four border towns-Tijuana, Mexicali, Tecate, and Algodones-during the first half of the twentieth century. With an emphasis on the tourist's view of these places, this book creates a vivid picture of what life was like for tourists and residents of these towns in the early and mid-twentieth century. Postcards from the Baja California Border is a rich and fascinating experience, one that takes you on a time-travel journey through border town histories and geographies while celebrating the visual intrigue of postcards"-- $c From publisher's website. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 00 $a Machine generated contents note: $g 13. $t The Baja Border Past Through Postcards. $g 2. $t Postcards -- $g 3. $t Tijuana Town Plan and Townscape -- $g 4. $t Greetings from Tijuana -- $g 5. $t Crossing Over -- $g 6. $t Avenida Revolucion -- $g 7. $t Cabarets -- $g 8. $t Landmarks -- $g 9. $t Mexicali Town Plan and Townscape -- $g 10. $t Boundary, Boulevard, and Railroad Corridor -- $g 11. $t Cabaret, Chinatown, and Curio Street -- $g 12. $t Tecate and Algodones -- $g 13. $t The Baja Border Past Through Postcards. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Cities and towns $z Baja California (State) $z Baja California (State) $x History $y 20th century $v Pictorial works. 650 0 $a Postcards $z Baja California (State) $z Baja California (State) $x History $y 20th century $v Pictorial works. 650 7 $a Cities and towns. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00861748 650 7 $a Postcards. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01073018 651 0 $a Baja California (Mexico : State) $x History $y 20th century $v Pictorial works. 651 0 $a Tijuana (Baja California, Mexico) $x History $y 20th century $v Pictorial works. 651 0 $a Mexicali (Mexico) $x History $y 20th century $v Pictorial works. 651 0 $a Tecate (Mexico) $x History $y 20th century $v Pictorial works. 651 0 $a Algodones (Baja California, Mexico) $x History $y 20th century $v Pictorial works. 651 7 $a Mexico $z Algodones (Baja California) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01884332 651 7 $a Mexico $z Baja California (State) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01330676 651 7 $a Mexico $z Mexicali. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01216926 651 7 $a Mexico $z Tecate. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01209455 651 7 $a Mexico $z Tijuana (Baja California) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01313482 655 7 $a illustrated books. $2 aat $0 (CStmoGRI)aatgf300311820 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Illustrated works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423873 655 7 $a Pictorial works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423874 655 7 $a Illustrated works. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Ouvrages illustreÌs. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000523 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117030923.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=17C042CC253111EE91433F782CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
