A Multidimensional View of Human Mobility

  • Ofelia Woo Morales

The author invites us to "look at mobilities from the Global South", exposes and analyzes how the stories of those who participate and participated in a process of (in)mobility as a result of the migration and asylum policies of both the United States and Mexico are interwoven; But it also explains the context of origin of Central Americans, the structural violence of the neoliberal model, as well as the organized crime, gangs and family violence to which they are exposed, until reaching what it calls "the unsustainability of life", when the population has to leave their country.
