The death of Josseline : immigration stories from the Arizona-Mexico borderlands / Margaret Regan

Children of the water -- Strangers in their own land -- Crossroads al Norte -- Desert rescue -- Aurora morning -- Ambos Nogales -- Bones in the rain -- The science of death -- The last house before the border -- The case of the Panda express eleven.

With a sweeping perspective and vivid on-the-ground reportage, Margaret Regan tells the stories of the escalating chaos along the U.S.-Mexico border. A varied cast of characters emerges as she rides shotgun with the Border Patrol, interviews deported Mexicans and angry Arizona ranchers, visits migrant shelters in Mexico, and camps out in the thorny wilderness with "No More Deaths" activists. Using Arizona as a microcosm, Regan explores a host of urgent issues: the border militarization that threatens the rights of U.S. citizens, the environmental damage wrought by the new border wall, the desperation that compels migrants to come north, and the human tragedy of the unidentified dead in Arizona's morgues"--Publisher's web site.
