Gatherine Nolan-Ferrell's "Constructing Citizenship: Transnational Workers and Revolution on the Mexico-Guatemala Border, 1880-1950" presents an in-depth analysis of the complexities of citizenship and national identity in the historically contentious border region of Mexico and Guatemala. The book examines the socio-economic dynamics between agrarian elites and the laboring peasantry, highlighting how these relationships were shaped by political transformations and revolutionary movements. Nolan-Ferrell's work is a significant contribution to the understanding of state formation and offers critical insights into the failures of national projects in addressing the needs of marginalized populations.
