Threshold: Emergency Responders on the US‐Mexico Border Ieva Jusionyte (Berkeley: University of California Press, 2018).

Threshold: Emergency Responders on the US-Mexico Border Ieva Jusionyte (Berkeley: University of California Press, 2018) First responders and firefighters working on both sides of the border expose their bodies to all kinds of dangers while aiding border crossers. Jusionyte shows the reader the ordinary life of first responders, and her (more-than-bilingual) capacity to communicate between her first responder and anthropologist languages makes this book a rare gem.
