Why? Tragic, difficult deaths...
Krystal LC Huang
For the "patriots" who don't believe in the basic human rights due to the "troubles" of the "undocumented" migrants, this book might make you happy...
For the general spectators, this is a hard to read through book with many controversies: The Land of Open Graves.

Book reviews from some other readers: "In this gripping and provocative 'ethnography of death,' anthropologist and MacArthur 'Genius' Fellow Jason De León sheds light on one of the most pressing political issues of our time—the human consequences of US immigration and border policy.
The Land of Open Graves reveals the suffering and deaths that occur daily in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona as thousands of undocumented migrants attempt to cross the border from Mexico into the United States.
Drawing on the four major fields of anthropology, De León uses an innovative combination of ethnography, archaeology, linguistics, and forensic science to produce a scathing critique of 'Prevention through Deterrence,' the federal border enforcement policy that encourages migrants to cross in areas characterized by extreme environmental conditions and high risk of death. For two decades, systematic violence has failed to deter border crossers while successfully turning the rugged terrain of southern Arizona into a killing field. Featuring stark photography by Michael Wells, this book examines the weaponization of natural terrain as a border wall: first-person stories from survivors underscore this fundamental threat to human rights, and the very lives, of non-citizens as they are subjected to the most insidious and intangible form of American policing as institutional violence.
In harrowing detail, De León chronicles the journeys of people who have made dozens of attempts to cross the border and uncovers the stories of the objects and bodies left behind in the desert.
The Land of Open Graves will spark debate and controversy."

I love this essay

This tragedy is so hard to imagine. Mothers and fathers crying for help.
Babies laying with the dead stench of decaying corpses.
Tragic and horrifying.
Krystal LC Huang
Jo, this is the most painful way for me to think of the notion of "Being Human" both for the lucky ones (like me, ) and the unfortunate...too many.
Krystal LC Huang
Can the lucky ones, do something, even just a tiny act, such as voicing out for the voiceless?
Jo Neverdahl Hayes
We need to be a voice.
no matter how soft. Someone will hear us!Jo Neverdahl Hayes Yes!

REMEMBERING when Howard Zinn turned me on to #Kropotkin http://bit.ly/2IgBR4w
"Humanity retains only the rights it has won by hard struggle and is ready to defend at every moment, with arms in hand."
' We cannot go in search of our natural rights by way of a law, a scrap of paper that could be torn up at the least whim of the rulers. For it is only by transforming ourselves into a force, capable of imposing our will, that we shall succeed in making our rights respected.
It is not from a parliament that we seekers of freedom should ask permission, nor must we beg a law from the Senate. We must become an organized force, capable of showing our teeth every time anyone sets about restraining our rights...' "
