Description



About the Book



Africans' and South Asians' perilous, endless migrations to and through the Americas



Book Synopsis



Journey without End 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.

The 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 Darién Gap--the gateway from South to Central America.

Journey without End 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 Darién 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.



Review Quotes




"This book provides a fascinating, detailed account of one of the most unique and extreme migration routes on the planet. It breaks new ground in providing new and extensive research on certain aspects of this migration route--for example, the financial and logistical aspects of it."
--Nadja Drost, winner of the Simón Bolívar Prize, the I. F. Stone Award, and the Robert Spiers Benjamin Award for best reporting in any medium on Latin America
