“…Together, these books provide a crucial analysis of recent events in Central America and North America. Not only do they contribute a detailed account of the caravans as a regional phenomenon, but they also provide a specific example that echoes displacement trends and related laws and policies on a global level, as they relate to containment in the Global South, the outsourcing of border control to third countries, as well as increased militarization, detention, and deportation at the expense of protection (see Hathaway and Gammeltoft-Hansen 2014; Cantor et al 2022).
