Living and Dying on the Migrant Trail
Book • 2015
This book is the culmination of six years of research on the social process of undocumented migration between Latin America and the United States.
Jason De León uses a multidisciplinary approach, incorporating ethnography, archaeology, linguistics, and forensic science to critique the federal border enforcement policy known as 'Prevention through Deterrence.
' The book highlights the harrowing journeys of migrants, the stories of objects and bodies left behind in the desert, and the systemic violence that has turned southern Arizona into a killing field.
Featuring photographs by Michael Wells, it underscores the human rights violations and institutional violence faced by non-citizens attempting to cross the border.
