They are aware of the fragility of the history of border crossing, how migrants and the objects they leave behind are labeled "trash" and disposed of carelessly.In part three De León examines how border crossings, both successful and failed, had an impact. Jason met a migrant some days before named Carlos who had been with a 38 year old woman named Marciela, and he believes this could be her. It will make you more understanding, I promise.A powerful and important book that provides perspective on migration at our southern border. A heart-wrenching book that details the cruel and inhumane policies of the US government. Except it doesn't work that way and thousands of migrants are killed each year trying to cross in brutal conditions.Fuck. It is an absolutely heart-breaking read, but I learned SO much. We’d love your help. Jason De León details the effects of U.S. border control policy through stories of suffering and struggle. De Léon lays bare the U.S. "deterrence" policy on the border, ramped up during the Obama administration. The book is split into three parts and discusses border patrol programs in America and stories of migrants who put all their faith and hope into making it across the border successfully. Well, no, by Arizona standards the area is fairly wet and not particularly hot (nearby Nogales gets 16 inches of rain a year and has an average high of 94 in July, while Phoenix gets 8 inches & an average high of 105 in July). His friends went to get help in the desert after Jose was dehydrated and extremely dizzy and returned when he was gone. The main demonstration of this was featured in chapter 8. Part One is the discussion of the border control policies and the dangers that come with attempting to cross the border.
De Leon uses anthropology and archaeology to document the difficulties, violence, and untold numbers of deaths that happen when migrants are forced into the desert in order to find better lives for themselves and their families. These images and that of the simple “ambiguous” construction of a migrant shelter, a canyon filled with discarded worn out backpacks or a shoe held together by a bra strap give subtle evidence of the trials and tribulations migrants are forced to endure. Success in this case means finding yourself occupying a position in US society where your labor is always exploited and your social position precarious”.
gives lots of insight into things you probably didn’t even know where happening. Most importantly, he connects these deaths in the desert to the stated policy of U.S. Border Patrol - funneling migrants toward the desert to allow the heat, predators, and robbers in the desert to kill people without any responsibility attributed to U.S. border policies. It was also part about the Sonoran desert as a 'hybrid collectif', which I guess it interesting for an academic but I wasn't interested.The first half was part about post 9/11 US border security, which was interesting, especially since it was focused on the border region and Border Patrol, and not on DC. He mentions the use of landscape in form of the desert as a systematic violence by the US Government. October 23rd 2015 Heartbreaking and specific. De León is Executive Director of the Undocumented Migration Project (UMP), a long-term anthropological study of clandestine migration between Latin America and the United States that uses a combination of ethnographic, visual, archaeological, and forensic approaches to understand this violent social process. The book draws on a four-field anthropology (ethnography, archaeology, forensic science and linguistic). Welcome back. This is one of the best ethnographies I've come across, but I don't think it's worth trying to rush to finish the rest when I'll need to return it in two weeks.
This book was difficult to read, both because of the disturbing subject matter but also because at times it is mind-numbingly dull repetitive scientific prose. Jason knows that no matter how much money they spend on stopping migrants that their strength of faith and deep Catholic beliefs will never stop them from trying whether it means life or death. De Léon spends 5+ years tracking the effects of the Prevention Through Deterrence policy enacted in the mid-90s, arguing that the most brutal (and deliberate) weapon in the war against 'illegal immigration' is a nonhuman agent: the desert.
Revisiting a familiar trail with his students De León stumbled upon BK-5N31” 44’ 55”, WIII 12’ 24”, a dead female migrant found at those coordinates.
