In \u003cem\u003eLeave If You Can\u003c\/em\u003e, Amelia Frank-Vitale offers a detailed portrait of the Honduran exodus and what it reveals about the broader consequences of changing US border enforcement policies. She highlights the stories of those who are often presented as unsympathetic: deported young men implicitly associated with the very violence they are trying to flee. In the process, she challenges underlying assumptions frequently held by policymakers and humanitarian agencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConnecting overlapping regimes of mobility control, from the invisible gangland borders within San Pedro Sula to the growing expansiveness of the U.S. border's reach, this book shows how deportation does not deter migration but, in fact, keeps people moving, and how U.S. policies fuel the migration \"crisis\" they claim to address. Drawing from her own experiences accompanying migrant caravans over many years, Frank-Vitale also explores how caravans emerge as both protest movement and migration tactic in response to this expanding border regime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47306919149804,"sku":"9780520421356","price":56.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/258920322226c8f48085121b94a028fa.jpg?v=1771100119","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/leave-if-you-can-by-amelia-frank-vitale-9780520421356","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
