"This book explains border policy and the toll on human lives from a historical and political perspective. It is a great tool to get started in creating a social impact project or activation around an issue, brainstorming, and talking to a group of people." |
Every year, thousands of people risk their lives to cross the desert between Mexico and the United States. Why do so many people cross the border without documents? How do they make the journey? And whose interests does the border serve, really? In riveting first-person narrative, No Wall They Can Build offers a close look at the borders that control movement around North America. Drawing on a decade of solidarity work in the desert between Mexico and Arizona, this book uncovers the goals and costs of US border policy, and what it will take to change it.
