tomized harvesting in the post– World War II era, underscoring how smallgrain agriculture “is both regional and cosmopolitan” (371). The final section discusses perhaps the most fraught natural resource in the North American West: water. Anthony Carlson’s and Stephen Mumme’s essays investigate tense, sometimes violent histories around water in the transnational West and the long push for sustainable solutions. Evans concludes with how the history of this porous agricultural borderlands helps illuminate contemporary political tensions and free trade debates. Th e new, transnational markets of the twentieth century off ers an economic development that “knits Mexico and the United States together and carry them as progressive partners into a modern future” in remarkably similar ways to relationships a century before, but it also creates a dependency between North American neighbors on “the performance of the US economy, and on an exportdependent scenario, in place of focusing on local or regional trade with longterm economic development . . . [and] a dependency on imported grain and food” (437). Farming without Borders is a key guide for future scholarship in agricultural history, environmental history, Great Plains, and borderlands histories. Readers of Great Plains Quarterly will especially benefi t from numerous eff orts to connect our region to the larger policies, politics, and natural resources of a wider American West. Some readers may quibble with its length, but this book signifi cantly adds “to borderlands studies more on agricultural history and giving to agricultural and environmental history a muchneeded North American borderlands focus” (xii).

二战后时期的收获，强调了小粮农业“既是区域性的又是世界性的”（371）。最后一部分讨论了可能是北美西部最令人担忧的自然资源：水。Anthony Carlson 和 Stephen Mumme 的文章调查了跨国西方围绕水的紧张、有时是暴力的历史以及对可持续解决方案的长期推动。埃文斯总结了这个漏洞百出的农业边疆的历史如何帮助阐明当代政治紧张局势和自由贸易辩论。二十世纪新的跨国市场提供了一种经济发展，“将墨西哥和美国联系在一起，并将它们作为进步的伙伴带入现代未来”，其方式与一个世纪前的关系非常相似，但它也造成了北美邻国之间对“美国经济表现和依赖出口的情况的依赖，而不是专注于具有长期经济发展的地方或区域贸易”。. . [和] 对进口粮食和食品的依赖”（437）。《无国界农业》是未来农业史、环境史、大平原和边疆历史研究的重要指南。Great Plains Quarterly 的读者将特别受益于将我们地区与更广泛的美国西部的更大政策、政治和自然资源联系起来的众多努力。一些读者可能对其篇幅有异议，但这本书显着地增加了“在边疆研究中更多地关注农业历史，并为农业和环境史提供了急需的北美边疆重点”（xii）。
