Este libro examina las variadas formas en que se han manifestado las tensiones y conflictos entre los movimientos de migración y la instauración de regímenes de control en diversos contextos y experiencias migratorias en la región en los últimos diez años desde miradas y metodologías antropológicas, sociológicas y politológicas."
