Description
The political upheaval in Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Guatemala had a devastating human toll on the end of the twentieth century. A quarter of 1,000,000 people died all the way through the period 1974-1996. Many of those who survived the wars chose temporary refuge in neighboring countries such as Honduras and Costa Rica. Others traveled far north, to Mexico, the US, and Canada on the lookout for safety. Over two million of those who fled Central The united states all the way through this period settled in these three countries.
On this incisive book, María Cristina García tells the story of that migration and how domestic and foreign policy interests shaped the asylum policies of Mexico, the US, and Canada. She describes the experiences of the individuals and non-governmental organizations—primarily church groups and human rights organizations—that responded to the refugee crisis, and worked within and across borders to shape refugee policy. These transnational advocacy networks collected testimonies, documented the abuses of states, re-framed national debates about immigration, pressed for changes in policy, and in the long run provided a voice for the displaced.
García concludes by addressing the legacies of the Central American refugee crisis, especially up to date attempts to coordinate a regional response to the unique problems presented by immigrants and refugees—and the challenges of coordinating one of these regional response in the post-9/11 era.
