Threshold: Emergency Responders on the US‐Mexico Border.
- Authors
Burke, Nancy J.
- Abstract
Ieva Jusionyte's I Threshold: Emergency Responders on the US-Mexico Border i is a significant addition to critical ethnographic work documenting the social life of U.S. immigration policy. She brings a focus on injuries inflicted by the border wall and desert landscape, and the unique perspectives of emergency responders caring for those targeted by "Prevention through Deterrence" (PTD). Field notes of calls for vehicle accidents and migrant care detail the ways emergency responders work hand-in-hand with border patrol agents, and the policy that supports this collaboration.
