With a focus on Honduras, James J. Phillips explores the deeper
causes of the massive emigration of Central Americans to the United
States. Going beyond the frequently given reasons for migration,
Phillips provides a detailed account of how the frenzied extraction
of natural resources has created massive community displacement,
dependency, poverty, and vulnerability, while encouraging
corruption, violence, gang recruitment, drug trafficking,
militarization of Honduran society, and systematic repression of
popular protest and resistance. Highlighting how this situation is
tied to the colonial (or imperial) extractive relationship of
Honduras to the United States, Phillips contends that the usual
policy of development aid and investment to stem migration will
only worsen the conditions that create migration. With this book,
Phillips depicts how the Central American immigration "crisis"
shapes life in the United States and Honduras, while making clear
that the effects are not what populist politics imagine.
