This dissertation is a detailed anthropological history of cotton in Mexico's northern borderlands, with particular focus on the Valle Bajo Rio Bravo region of northern Tamaulipas between 1900 and 1960. An examination of the publications and archives of anthropologists, businessmen and government agencies in the US and Mexico shows the relation of Mexican state irrigated development strategies in its northern borderlands to transnational intellectual discussions about migration, region, race, culture and development, transnational flows of cotton capital and labor, and the cotton politics of the United States. Using regional newspapers, archives and oral testimonies from the Valle Bajo Rio Bravo, the dissertation documents the process by which the Cardenas government built and colonized one such development project in the context of a complex regional social field with connections to a host of national and transnational actors. The dissertation traces the emergence of a regional social formation within the Valle Bajo Rio Bravo development zone, and shows the importance of ideas and languages of region, development, class and community in the ongoing struggle to control the definition of, and the benefits from, irrigated cotton production. By approaching state-led development as at once an economic project, cultural form and political process, I show how migration policies, land reform and repatriation programs, and irrigation projects are shaped by the people whose lives they most directly affect.
