SUMMARY:Soldiers and Kings: Inside the World of Human Smuggling
DESCRIPTION:In 2014\, Mexico (with financial and logistical support from the Obama administration) launched Programa Frontera Sur\, a security enforcement project aimed at stopping Central American migrants from reaching the U.S./Mexico border. Under this program\, Mexico dramatically increased arrests and deportations while simultaneously making the migration journey more arduous and deadly. In response to this heightened security\, migrants have turned to transnational gangs such as MS-13 who have become increasingly involved in the human smuggling industry. In 2015 De León began a long-term photoethnographic project focused on understanding the daily lives of Honduran smugglers who profit from transporting migrants across the length of Mexico. In this talk he will use ethnographic data to discuss the relationship between transnational gangs and the human smuggling industry and outline the complicated role that photography plays as a field method and data source in this violent and ethically challenging context. \nABOUT OUR GUEST SPEAKER\nJason De León is Executive Director of the Undocumented Migration Project and the Colibri Center for Human Rights\, a joint 501(c)(3) organization focused on raising awareness about issues related to migration and assisting families of missing migrants search for their loved ones. De León is Professor of Anthropology and Chicana\, Chicano\, and Central American Studies at the University of California\, Los Angeles and Head Curator of the ongoing global exhibition “Hostile Terrain 94.” He is the author of the award-winning book “The Land of Open Graves: Living and Dying on the Migrant Trail” and a 2017 MacArthur Fellow. \nLEARN MORE\nUndocumented Migration Project \nHostile Terrain 94 \nDISCUSSANTS\nAgustín Fuentes\, Anthropology\, Princeton University\nPatricia Fernandez-Kelly\, Sociology\, Princeton University \nCo-sponsored by the Department of Anthropology\, Center for Migration and Development\, Effron Center for the Study of America\, Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies (PIIRS)\, and the Humanities Council. \n  \nThis event is free and open to the public.
