Many studies of migration from the Northern Triangle countries of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras focus on a single aspect, such as the reasons of the migrants for leaving. This book presents a complete picture of what happens to the migrants from the time they are leaving to the time they arrive in the United States. It puts into perspective the history of the three countries, along with the motivations and desires of the migrants. The analysis concentrates on economic incentives, climate extremes, and fear of violence factors. The Northern Triangle, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras: A Global Perspective of Migration also examines the difficulties encountered by undocumented migrants and by those deported back to their countries of origin, arguing that same factors which influence undocumented migrants from the Northern Triangle contribute to the global problems of migration in the twenty-first century.
