Document Summary
Others come in, force the people that live there to cut cane. Aren"t stupid: know that they are being used for there crop. Coercion -> hallmark of colonialism (guns and whips) Auto-nationalism - we vs. they ; one group united against one common enemy; national identity created through mutual hatred of another group. The physical border is just a line; the metaphorical border is described as the border region ; this area is very mixed (not very american, but still in the american border); don"t identify with one country or the other. Time-space compression - the world has gotten smaller; the way people interact in the world has gotten closer together; things get from point a to point b faster; physical distance has become less of an issue: flexible accumulation. Ability of companies to split up the process of production to different countries all across the world - this is done to make production cheaper.
