An anthropological work about this region that included its author controversially purchasing and killing five pigs is complemented by a series of Jason Wells photographs. Anthropologists who worked in this region include Josiah Heyman and Michael Kearney, whose work Reconceptualizing the Peasantry posited a new form of indigeneity. Abandoned belongings from this region like black-painted gallon jugs are documented in a project by Jason de León, who wrote about Memo and Lucho’s experiences in this region in his book The Land of (*) Open Graves. This region is likened to an “open wound” (-5[1])in a book that (-5[1])describes eight varieties of languages spoken in this region. That code-switching work titled for this region metaphorizes the rejection of binaries as “entering into the serpent” and aims at a “new consciousness.” For 10 points, name this region that is the subject of Gloria Anzaldúa’s La Frontera.
