The Land of Open Graves reveals the suffering and deaths that occur daily in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona as thousands of undocumented migrants attempt to cross the border from Mexico into the United States. Drawing on the four major fields of anthropology, De Leon uses an innovative combination of ethnography, archaeology, linguistics, and forensic science to produce a scathing critique of \"Prevention through Deterrence,\" the federal border enforcement policy that encourages migrants to cross in areas characterized by extreme environmental conditions and high risk of death. For two decades, this policy has failed to deter border crossers while successfully turning the rugged terrain of southern Arizona into a killing field. In harrowing detail, De Leon chronicles the journeys of people who have made dozens of attempts to cross the border and uncovers the stories of the objects and bodies left behind in the desert. The Land of Open Graves will spark debate and controversy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProductspecificaties\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuteur:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jason De Leon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSerie:\u003c\/strong\u003e California Series in Public Anthropology deel 36\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUitgever:\u003c\/strong\u003e University of California Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBindwijze:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trade paperback (US)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVerschijningsdatum:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2015-10-23\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAantal pagina's:\u003c\/strong\u003e 384\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780520282759\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThema:\u003c\/strong\u003e Social and cultural anthropology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBISAC:\u003c\/strong\u003e SOCIAL SCIENCE \/ Anthropology \/ Cultural \u0026amp; Social\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOver de auteur\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJason De Leon is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of Michigan and Director of the Undocumented Migration Project, a long-term anthropological study of clandestine border crossings between Mexico and the United States.
