'A Savage Song is a welcome addition to studies on the borderlands in the Southwestern region of the United States and black-brown relations in the construction of white racial domination. Aragon’s keen anthropological eye helps the reader identify the sociological structures sustaining the illogic of racial domination. By analyzing the uses of violence in settler colonialism, on the Western frontier,and in the borderlands, Aragon shows us recurring themes in the defense of legal and extra-legal violence.' Luis F.
