Deportation, Migration, and Survival in Honduras

Event Description

Join the Migration, Ethnicity, Racism, and Health Group (MERHG) for their upcoming event:

Drawing from ethnographic research conducted in Honduras and Mexico, this talk focuses on the lived experiences of young Honduran men in a new era of deportation.

It connects the criminalization of poor Honduran youth within Honduras, the violence with which they contend both inside the country and beyond, and it places migration within a multi-scalar landscape of mobility control.

Amelia Frank-Vitale is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology and the School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University. An anthropologist of migration and violence in Central America and Mexico, Dr. Frank-Vitale has documented the dangers facing people migrating across Mexico and the strategies they develop – including coming together in caravans – to manage those risks and defy restrictions on movement. Her current book project, Leave, If You Can: Honduran Migration and a New Era of Deportation examines how Honduran youth navigate life after deportation, illuminating the changing nature of deportation as a consequence of the externalization of borders and connecting regimes of mobility control - and the creative ways people challenge them - across scale and space.
