Hope, Community, and Visibility Among Venezuelan Migrants At the - Juarez El Paso Borde

This book tells the story of the birth, life, and death of a Venezuelan migrant camp at the US-Mexico border, and weaves together the conceptual threads of emotive narration, spatial production, performative visibility, and media spectacle to show the migrants' collective but ultimately unsuccessful attempt to influence border policies.
