What happens to migrants after they are deported from the United
States and dropped off at the Mexican border, often hundreds if not
thousands of miles from their hometowns? In this eye-opening work,
Jeremy Slack foregrounds the voices and experiences of Mexican
deportees, who frequently become targets of extreme forms of
violence, including migrant massacres, upon their return to Mexico.
Navigating the complex world of the border, Slack investigates how
the high-profile drug war has led to more than two hundred thousand
deaths in Mexico, and how many deportees, stranded and vulnerable
in unfamiliar cities, have become fodder for drug cartel struggles.
Like no other book before it, Deported to Death reshapes debates on
the long-term impact of border enforcement and illustrates the
complex decisions migrants must make about whether to attempt the
return to an often dangerous life in Mexico or face increasingly
harsh punishment in the United States.
