"Héctor Beltrán examines Mexican and Latinx coders' personal strategies of self-making
as they navigate a transnational economy of tech work. Beltrán shows how these hackers
apply concepts from the code worlds to their lived experiences, deploying batches,
loose coupling, iterative processing (looping), hacking, prototyping, and full-stack
development in their daily social interactions--at home, in the workplace, on the
dating scene, and in their understanding of the economy, culture, and geopolitics.
Merging ethnographic analysis with systems thinking, he draws on his eight years of
research in México and the United States--during which he participated in and observed
hackathons, hacker schools, and tech entrepreneurship conferences--to unpack the conundrums
faced by workers in a tech economy that stretches from villages in rural México to
Silicon Valley.Beltrán chronicles the tension between the transformative promise of
hacking--the idea that coding will reconfigure the boundaries of race, ethnicity,
class, and gender--and the reality of a neoliberal capitalist economy divided and
structured by the US/México border."
