Recenzje

"Forced Migration across Mexico is a timely volume that conceptualizes the root causes of violence in migrant trajectories. With a focus on theoretical frameworks, violence on the southern and northern borders, migrant caravans, and gendered patterns, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of the complex dynamics between migration and violence in Mexico."

Xóchitl Bada, Associate Professor in Latin American and Latino Studies, University of Illinois Chicago
