{"product_id":"journey-without-end-andrew-nelson-9780826504869","title":"Journey Without End: Migration from the Global South Through the Americas","description":"\u003ci\u003eJourney without End\u003c\/i\u003e chronicles the years-long journey of \"extracontinentales\"--African and South Asian migrants moving through Latin America toward the United States. 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. \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 Dari駭 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 Dari駭 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Nelson, Rob Curran\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826504868\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826504869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vanderbilt University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2023","brand":"Andrew Nelson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44070867927295,"sku":"9780826504869","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9aea4d85-c32f-428e-8e18-ce8a6d713ed1.jpg?v=1685432798","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/journey-without-end-andrew-nelson-9780826504869","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
