Arnovis couldn't stay in El Salvador. If he didn't leave, a local
gangster promised that his family would dress in mourning, that he
would wake up with flies in his mouth. "It was like a bomb exploded
in my life," Arnovis said. The Dispossessed tells the story of a
twenty-four-year-old Salvadoran man, Arnovis, whose family's search
for safety shows how the United States - in concert with other
Western nations - has gutted asylum protections for the world's
most vulnerable. Crisscrossing the border and Central America, John
Washington traces one man's quest for asylum. Arnovis is separated
from his daughter by US Border Patrol agents and struggles to find
security after being repeatedly deported to a gang-ruled community
in El Salvador, traumatic experiences relayed by Washington with
vivid intensity. Adding historical, literary, and current political
context to the discussion of migration today, Washington tells the
history of asylum law and practice through ages to the present day.
Packed with information and reflection, The Dispossessed is more
than a human portrait of those who cross borders - it is an urgent
and persuasive case for sharing the country we call home.
