Samenvatting
An epic, heartbreaking, and deeply reported history of the disastrous humanitarian crisis at the southern border told via the lives of the migrants forced to risk everything and the policy makers determining their fate, by New Yorker staff writer Jonathan Blitzer
Everyone who makes the journey faces an impossible choice. Hundreds of thousands of people who arrive every year at the US-Mexico border travel far from their homes. An overwhelming share of them come from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, although many migrants come from farther away. Some are fleeing persecution, others crime or hunger. Very often it will not be their first attempt to cross. They may have already been deported from the United States, but it remains their only hope for safety and prosperity. Their homes have become uninhabitable. They will take their chances.
This vast and unremitting crisis did not spring up overnight. Indeed, as Blitzer dramatizes with forensic, unprecedented reporting, it is the result of decades of misguided policy and sweeping corruption. Brilliantly weaving the stories of Central Americans whose lives have been devastated by chronic political conflict and violence, with those of American activists, policymakers, and the politicians and government officials responsible for the countrys tragically tangled immigration policy, Blitzer reveals the full, layered picture for the first time.
Everyone Who is Gone is Here is an odyssey of struggle and resilience. With astonishing nuance and detail, Blitzer tells an epic story about the people whose lives ebb and flow across the border, and in doing so, delves into the heart of American life itself. This vital and remarkable story has shaped the nations turbulent politics and culture in countless waysand will almost certainly determine its future.
