Migration and Mortality is a timely, thorough, and compelling volume. Its focus on 'social death' to capture a variety of experiences - some of which amount to suffering that translates into 'slow death,' while others encompass death more literally - is creative, novel, and needed. This book is a significant contribution to migration studies.

Using a magnifying lens to study immigrant bashing in his hometown, Jamie Longazel brings into sharp focus the anti-Latino racism at the heart of national politics today. Even as we as a society struggle to build solidarity across racial divisions, powerful forces seek advantage in tearing us farther apart. The concentrated focus of Undocumented Fears helps us understand not only why this occurs but also how we might help replace fear with friendship, social division with a sense of shared humanity.
