Fugitive Landscapes: The Forgotten History of the U.S.-Mexico Borderlands (review)

negotiation of revolutionary-era cultural and class politics, and in terms of ongoing transformations in what we now study as institutions of print culture and the public sphere. The study is most productive when it combines close readings of key texts (e.g., Smith’s inexhaustible diary, Brown’s narratives, or Dunlap’s André) with a sound historical grasp of the context and cultural tensions that animate them. Waterman uses these tools to chart the group’s development and clarify the pressures and limits that its members negotiate in their writings. Moving beyond the history and dynamics of the club considered in itself, the study opens up new areas for scholarship in its second section on “industries of knowledge” by asking how the group’s writings intervene in new and changing professional and cultural formations, for example with Smith and Brown’s medical and literary interventions in yellow fever debates. The work begun here suggests that much more could be done in this area, for example by exploring the club members’ individual and collective investments in abolitionist organization, or by connecting the club’s dynamics more closely with new modes of class and cultural distinction.
