Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Download or read book Sourcebook on Central American Refugee Policy written by Milton H. Jamail and published by School. This book was released on 1985 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bibliography of almost 800 entries includes books, newspaper, magazine and journal articles, unpublished papers, government documents, human rights reports, newsletters and bulletins, and other print material which was gathered by students and faculty during the course of a research seminar on the topic at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs of the University of Texas at Austin during 1983-1984. The bibliography does not claim to be an exhaustive listing of resources on Central American refugee issues. Although there was an attempt to gather as much information as possible, much of the material reflects a Texas focus. The major sections of this publication include: 1) books, manuscripts, unpublished papers, and church, government and human rights reports; 2) magazine and journal articles; 3) newspaper articles, editorials and statements; and 4) newsletters, bulletins, other reports and resources. Within each section, entries are arranged alphabetically first by title (when there is no author given), then alphabetically by author. Finally there is an index by subject and country. This publication reflects the combined efforts of the LBJ School of Public Affairs of the University of Texas, and the Central America Resource Center, a nonprofit educational and information Center located in Austin.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is an effort to survey the situation of Central American refugees in the United States in the late 1980s. It is based primarily on interviews conducted in nine states with American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) staff and others doing refugee work, as well as with refugees themselves. The report also draws on numerous reports, articles and newsletters. The aim of the paper, according to the authors, is to provide a current overview of the situation of refugees and refugee-related work that may help local groups relate their own concerns and work to what is happening elsewhere. The authors state that underlying the report are two broad convictions: first, that the presence of Central Americans in the United States raises fundamental questions of human rights; and second, that although the Central American crisis arose from processes internal to the region, United States policy has aggravated the conflicts that have generated the flow of refugees. The first section of the survey focuses on the changing nature of the wars in Central America and their impact on refugee flows. The second section focuses not only on the situation along the US Mexico border, but also on the obstacles the refugees face and the various struggles they have to defend their rights in dealing with the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). In the third section, the authors point to some of the characteristics of Central American refugee communities in the United States, concentrating especially on the major problems faced by the refugees and those trying to help them, such as physical and mental health. Activities of several organizations under the umbrella of the Central America Refugee Network (CARNET) are described. The last section considers the United States government policies on immigration and organized efforts to change them. The authors look at international law and United States law on refugees, INS practice and legal challenges to it, the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, and temporary asylum.

Book excerpt: During the 1980s thousands of refugees from Central America, who sought safe haven in the United States, found themselves incarcerated in immigration prisonsabused by their jailors and deprived of the most basic legal and human rights. Drawing on declassified government documents and interviews with more than 3,000 Central American refugees, Kahn portrays the chilling reality of daily life in immigration prisons and reveals how the Department of Justice and the Immigration and Naturalization Service intentionally violated federal laws and regulations to deny protection to refugees fleeing wars financed by U.S. military aid. }During the 1980s hundreds of thousands of refugees fled civil wars and death squads in Central America, seeking safe haven in the United States. Instead, thousands found themselves incarcerated in immigration prisonsabused by their jailors and deprived of the most basic legal and human rights. Drawing on declassified government documents and interviews with prison officials, INS staff, and more than 3,000 Central American refugees, Robert S. Kahn reveals how the Department of Justice and its dependent agency, the Immigration and Naturalization Service, intentionally violated federal laws and regulations to deny protection to refugees from El Salvador and Guatemala who were fleeing wars financed by U.S. military aid.Kahn portrays the chilling reality of daily life in immigration prisons in Texas, Arizona, and Louisiana. Behind the razor-topped prison walls, refugees were not simply denied political asylum; they were beaten, robbed, sexually assaulted, and sometimes tortured by prison guards. Other Peoples Blood traces the ten-year legal struggle by volunteer prison workers and attorneys to stop the abuse of refugees and to force the Justice Department to concede in court that its treatment of immigrants had violated U. S. laws and the Geneva Convention for over a decade. Yet the case of American Baptist Churches v. Thornburgh, which overturned more judicial decisions than any other case in U.S. history, is still virtually unknown in the United States, and today the debate over illegal immigration is being carried on with little awareness of the government policies that contributed so shamefully to this countrys immigration problems. }

Book excerpt: This report is based on a fact-finding mission to Mexico in August 1990, covering the northern and southern border areas as well as Mexico City and environs. The report is an attempt to explain the dramatic rise in Mexico's effort to stop Central Americans en route to the United States, why it is occurring, and what effect it is having on the rights of Central Americans fleeing war and persecution. It examines the treatment of Central Americans in Mexico, both in terms of their recognized legal rights, as well as the realities many face that diverge greatly from the letter of the law. The report begins with an analysis of the US role in controlling Central American migration. Special attention is given to 'Operation Hold the Line,' initiated by the US Immigration and Naturalization Service in February 1989. Cooperation between Mexican and US officials to stop the Central American flow is investigated. The report then turns to the policy of the Mexican Government concerning refugee status determination and refugee procedures. It notes the de facto recognition of Guatemalan refugees as a group with a massive relocation in 1984 before examining the implications of Mexico's new law of 1990 defining refugees. General perceptions of the new law are analysed in terms of the significance of law in Mexican Government and society. In addition, the report presents the experiences of various Central Americans who have not been affected by the good intentions of the new law, some of whom have been detained and deported by Mexican authorities. The report includes several conclusions and recommendations dealing with enforcement of the new law and the necessity that asylum adjudication in Mexico adhere to internationally accepted standards of due process. The recommendations are also addressed to increased protection by the US.
Download or read book History on the Run written by Ma Vang and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2020-12-21 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During its secret war in Laos (1961–1975), the United States recruited proxy soldiers among the Hmong people. Following the war, many of these Hmong soldiers migrated to the United States with refugee status. In History on the Run Ma Vang examines the experiences of Hmong refugees in the United States to theorize refugee histories and secrecy, in particular those of the Hmong. Vang conceptualizes these histories as fugitive histories, as they move and are carried by people who move. Charting the incomplete archives of the war made secret through redacted US state documents, ethnography, film, and literature, Vang shows how Hmong refugees tell their stories in ways that exist separately from narratives of U.S. empire and that cannot be traditionally archived. In so doing, Vang outlines a methodology for writing histories that foreground refugee epistemologies despite systematic attempts to silence those histories.
