DeLeonJ: The Land of Open Graves

This text is about migrants' passage through dangerous terrains such as the Sonora Desert in Mexico, which is used as a tool of border enforcement in and of itself. After the Mexican law enforcement cracked down and implemented deterrence practices, migrants have had to find new routes into the US, which have also been a lot more dangerous and life threatening. The book also succeeds in showing how structural violence is inflicted on migrants by these policies.
