Borderlands violence, so explosive in our time, has deep roots in history. Lance R. Blyth's study of Chiricahua Apaches and the presidio of Janos in the US-Mexican borderlands reveals how no single entity had a monopoly on coercion, and how violence became the primary means by which relations were established, maintained, or altered both within and between communities.
