Abstract
This interview is with Dr. Juan Coronado, a professor from the Río Grande Valley.

He talks as a historian about his impressions of changes at the border and in the US at large that followed 9/11. Juan also discusses the effects of wars in the Middle East on Middle Eastern populations, American troops, and American culture.
