The Asylum Seekers

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“No other book I've read brings you so closely, so intimately, into the lives of Latin American migrants living in poverty. Fleeing horrors and lethal danger, they encounter the new horrors of US border policies bent on ending the right to asylum. At moments, The Asylum Seekers seems to combine the genres of the thriller and the account of a pilgrim's progress. This staggeringly beautiful and important book will fill your heart and mind with a sense of wonder, sorrow, and gratitude for what it has shown you.”
