This book identifies the history, conventions, and uses of security
discourses, and argues that such language and media frames distort
information and mislead the public, misidentify the focus of
concern, and omit narratives able to recognize the causes and
solutions to humanitarian crises. What has been identified as a
crisis at the border is better understood as an on-going crisis of
violence, building over decades, that has forced migrants from
their homes in the countries of the Northern Triangle. Authors
Robin Andersen and Adrian Bergmann look back to U.S. military
policies in the region and connect this legacy to the cross-border
development of transnational gangs, government corruption, and
on-going violence that often targets environmental and legal
defenders. They argue that the discourses of demonization and
securitization only help perpetuate brutality in both Central
America and the United States, especially in the desert borderlands
of the southwest. They offer ways in which stories of migrants can
be reframed within the language of justice, empathy, and
humanitarianism. A compelling examination of language, media, and
politics, this book is both highly contemporary and widely
applicable, perfect for students and scholars of global media,
political communications, and their many intersections.
