{"product_id":"9780826504876","title":"Journey without End: Migration from the Global South through the Americas","description":"\u003ci\u003eJourney without End\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eJourney without End\u003c\/i\u003e 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.","brand":"Vanderbilt University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46521316606193,"sku":"9780826504876","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9780826504876_p0.jpg?v=1765608591","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780826504876","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
