""Illuminating . . . . shed[s] valuable light on the deep roots of the violence and injustice that reflect and fuel border militarization and the fight against criminalized immigration . . . . [helps] readers to see beyond mainstream framings of migration and border politics, provoking important questions about international mobility, humanitarianism, and solidarity, while pointing the way toward a more just world.""--NACLA Report on the Americas ""Wilson's commitment inspires, and the account is enriched by Lucero's meditations on history and sovereignty, including passages exploring how the U.S. draws and enforces physical and metaphorical boundaries between its "" 'civilization' and [the] 'merciless savagery'"" of both Mexico and Native lands. It's a rewarding chronicle of a remarkable life.""--Publishers Weekly
