Title: Deported to Death Condition: New Subtitle: How Drug Violence Is Changing Migration on the US–Mexico Border Author: Jeremy Slack Format: Paperback ISBN-10: 0520297334 EAN: 9780520297333 ISBN: 9780520297333 Publisher: University of California Press Genre: Society & Culture Topic: Social Sciences, History Release Date: 30/07/2019 Description: What happens to migrants after they are deported from the United States and dropped off at the Mexican border, often hundreds if not thousands of miles from their hometowns? In this eye-opening work, Jeremy Slack foregrounds the voices and experiences of Mexican deportees, who frequently become targets of extreme forms of violence, including migrant massacres, upon their return to Mexico.
Navigating the complex world of the border, Slack investigates how the high-profile drug war has led to more than two hundred thousand deaths in Mexico, and how many deportees, stranded and vulnerable in unfamiliar cities, have become fodder for drug cartel struggles. Like no other book before it, Deported to Death reshapes debates on the long-term impact of border enforcement and illustrates the complex decisions migrants must make about whether to attempt the return to an often dangerous life in Mexico or face increasingly harsh punishment in the United States.
