Book launch: Ambivalent Humanitarianism and Migration Control

LAWN is pleased to celebrate a new book by member Dr. Erika Herrera Rosales (Sociology)! Ambivalent Humanitarianism and Migration Control: Colonial Legacies and the Experiences of Migrants in Mexico is being published by Routledge in February 2025. It explores the complex relationship between migrants and local aid organisations. These organisations have become indisputably relevant and highly regarded as allies to Northern Central American migrants trying to reach the United States. Thus, this book examines the implications of humanitarian actors in migration governance and bordering practices, which have serious and long-lasting effects on the lives of migrants.

For more information or to order the book, visit RoutledgeLink opens in a new window.

LAWN is also cosponsoring a book launch, held online:
Date: February 26th, 2025 - 16:00 -17:00 UK
