Based on five years of collaborative research between a journalist and an anthropologist, this book makes an engrossing, sometimes surreal, narrative-driven critique of how state-level immigration policy fails extracontinental migrants. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book begins with Kidane, an Eritrean migrant who has left his pregnant wife behind to make the four-year trip to North America; it then picks up the natural disaster-riddled voyage of Roshan and Kamala Dhakal from Nepal to Ecuador; and it continues to the trials of Cameroonian exile Jane Mtebe, who becomes trapped in a bizarre beachside resort town on the edge of the Darién Gap--the gateway from South to Central America. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eJourney without End\u003c\/i\u003e follows these migrants as their fitful voyages put them in a semi-permanent state of legal and existential liminality. Mercurial policy creates profit opportunities that transform migration bottlenecks--Quito's tourist district, a Colombian beachside resort, Panama's Darién Gap, and a Mexican border town--into spontaneous migration-oriented spaces rife with racial, gender, and class exploitation. Throughout this struggle, migrant solidarity allows for occasional glimpses of subaltern cosmopolitanism and the possibility of mobile futures.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndrew Nelson\u003c\/b\u003e is an associate professor of anthropology at the University of North Texas. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eRob Curran\u003c\/b\u003e is a freelance journalist and frequent contributor to \u003ci\u003eDow Jones Newswires\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eDallas Morning News\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 258\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.58 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 15, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45610415325228,"sku":"9780826504852","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/smartsupplydeals.com\/products\/journey-without-end-migration-from-the-global-south-through-the-americas-paperback","provider":"Smart supply deals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
