Description: Ulla D. Berg reframes public and political discourses on deportation to foreground Andean migrants as active and adaptive agents living with, but not defined by, deportation and its consequences.
Review Quotes: "While most studies of migrants focus on their perilous journey or their precarious existence as undocumented, Ulla Berg insightfully explores through a vivid and thorough ethnography the little-known experience of deportation among Ecuadorians and Peruvians who reimagine a life home or try their luck in a new attempt to hit the road. Her book definitely opens an important and promising field of research."--Didier Fassin, coauthor of, Exile: Chronicle of the Border
