The Albert Lepage Center for History in the Public Interest cordially invites you to the roundtable "Migrations across Central America" on 11/03 at 6 p ET
How do histories of migratory movements and policies in Central America shape the current immigration crisis? How has U.S. interventionism in Central America shaped past and present migration processes in this region? What are the effects of U.S. immigration policies on migrants’ clandestine journeys? How do we make sense of the contradiction between the recognition of the human rights of migrants and their lack of immigration status? How is the “illegality” of certain immigrant communities related to their race and ethnicity?
