Reviews for Governing Migration and Mobility: Military-Humanitarianism at Brazil's Northern Frontier

‘The originality of this book is the analysis of the humanitarianism x militarism nexus of Operation Welcome, by which the Brazilian army coordinated the reception of Venezuelan migrants and refugees.’ Andrea Pacheco Pacifico, Paraiba State University
