Bienvenido a #Tijuana/Welcome to Tijuana
This post by Gabriella Sanchez, Research Fellow, Monash University, Australia, describes recent research she has conducted in Tijuana, Mexico with Yesenia Trujillo.
The sun was already setting in Tijuana, a city on the Mexican side of the US-Mexico border, by the time Yesenia Trujillo and I arrived at the only shelter for migrant women in the city. The blue, picturesque house ran by a small group of Scalabrinian nuns seemed dreamlike, even out of place in this dangerously steep hill in Colonia Postal, a working class neighborhood a top of a dusty road in a city that despite radical changes has for decades managed to hold on to its place in the US-MX border’s consciousness as the capital of sin, violence and crime.
