The stories featured are diverse, usefully selected, and revealing. The quality of fieldwork is clear; this sort of intimacy represents a real accomplishment in ethnography.\" - Josiah Heyman, The University of Texas at El Paso \"Terrio does a beautiful job of articulating the experiences of the undocumented Central American women whose stories are woven throughout the book. . . . Playing with the metaphor of the mouth of the shark, she leads us through their experiences as they run from the shark, are swallowed and spit out by the shark, and escape with devastating bruises. . . . Though they escape physically from the shark that is the violence in Central America, it follows them through their complicated, difficult transnational relationships with family members. Their stories, and Terrio's narratives, depict intergenerational histories of abuse and agency, of harm and decision making within the limited bounds available to these women and their children.\" - Marjorie Zatz, University of California, Merced \"Terrio has masterfully penned a poignant, powerful, and insightful book focused on undocumented mothers who escape detention and try to build lives in the US.\" (CHOICE)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e2024 Outstanding Academic Title, given by Choice Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eFeatures the stories of undocumented mothers who reunite with their children in the US years after fleeing violence at home\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Facing escalating chaos and violence in their home countries, many Central American mothers have found that a desperate flight to the north was their only choice. Many left their children behind in order to spare them the hardships of the journey. If they made it across the border without getting locked up or deported, they entered a country increasingly unwilling to recognize claims of asylum.\u003cbr\u003e This book features the stories of women who crossed the border without encountering immigration authorities, in some cases several times, and settled in the greater Washington, DC, area, living in the shadows for years. By centering on the voices of the women themselves, it offers an intimate look at what drove them from home and the challenges they face in reuniting years later with their children.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eForced Out\u003c\/i\u003e traces the women's evolving attitudes toward the violence embedded in institutions and everyday life in their home countries, as well as their continued vulnerability and dependence in the US. It also highlights the challenges they face in parenting children adapting to American society and learning English while living with mothers who had left them years before and become strangers to them. Rather than sensationalizing their trauma or dwelling on their vulnerability, the stories reveal the women's rich, complex inner lives, their resilience in overcoming senseless violence, and their unswerving commitment to bettering their children's lives. Clear, vivid, and impactful, this is a humbling and humane look at the state of migration to America today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"NYU Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52591090663704,"sku":"9781479823529","price":54.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/forced-out-migrant-mothers-in-search-of-refuge-and-hope-hardback-9781479823529","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
