_The Other Border Wars: Conflict and Stasis in Latin American Culture_ explores the concept of bordering as a central organizing principle in culture, conflict, and politics. Shannon Dowd contends that Central and South American border conflicts, such as the Chaco War (1932-1935) between Bolivia and Paraguay, the Soccer War (1969) between El Salvador and Honduras, and the Falklands/Malvinas War (1982) between Argentina and the United Kingdom, can be viewed as stasis, signifying civil strife rather than international war. Dowd employs a comprehensive theory of stasis to challenge contemporary sovereignty and bordering, examining border zones from the onset of hostilities to the present day, emphasizing the enduring consequences of enclosure and violence. The book prompts readers to reflect on how cultural expressions challenge the perceived immutability of Latin American borders and even the notion of bordering itself.
