Abstract
By examining Joaquín Murrieta in Sonoran literature and his unique appearance in the work of Óscar Monroy Rivera, this paper seeks to demonstrate how his appearance may indicate a shift in the cultural discourse emanating from Sonora and the border during the critical period of the 1980s. His appearance reflects the desire on the part of the local communities at a time of social change and growth to engage in a dialogue concerning their collective identity, re-centering it on the geographical space of the border itself and material conditions there.
