13. From migration to movement, a discussion with anthropologist Amelia Frank-Vitale

Tom & Ethel Bradley Center

Nov 05, 2021

In this episode Marta Valier talks to Amelia Frank-Vitale, an anthropologist that studies the migration of undocumented Central Americans in Mexico. She discusses the caravan of 2018, when strength came in numbers and more than 7,000 migrants joined forces to travel through Central America and Mexico forging a movement that reclaimed the migrants right to mobility in a region where the migration regime dictated by the U.S. forces them into clandestine, and deadly, movement.
