As those borders harden, the demand for smugglers who aid migrants across them increases every year. Yet media and politicians have always characterized smugglers-or coyotes, or guides, as they are often known by the migrants whohire their services-using tired tropes and stereotypes, as boogie men and violent warlords. In an effort to better understand this essential yet extralegal billion dollar global industry, internationally recognized anthropologist and expert Jason De Leaonembedded with a group of smugglers moving migrants across Mexico over the course of seven years. The result of this unprecedented access is SOLDIERS AND KINGS: the first ever in-depth, character-driven look at human smuggling. It is a heart-wrenching andintimate narrative that revolves around the life and death of one coyote, Chino, who falls in love and tries to leave smuggling behind. In a powerful, original voice, De Leaon expertly chronicles the lives of low-level foot soldiers breaking into the smuggling game, and morally conflicted gang leaders who oversee rag-tag crews of guides and informants along the migrant trail. SOLDIERS AND KINGS is not only a ground-breaking up-close glimpse of a difficult-to-access world, it is a masterpiece of narrativenonfiction"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Human smuggling $z Latin America $x History. 651 0 $a Latin America $x History. $x History. 776 08 $i Online version: 776 08 $a De Leaon, Jason, 1977- $t Soldiers and kings $d [New York] : Viking, [2024] $z 9780593298596 $w (DLC) 2023017437 941 $a 12 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724030245.0 952 $l VKPE334 $d 20240719010736.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240717023012.0 952 $l FPPC224 $d 20240717010922.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710065208.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20240705011220.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240702025521.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20240611032845.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240524011218.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509012713.0 952 $l OCPA943 $d 20240402011707.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240402010528.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=91A85FA2BB4F11EE9799A7D243ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
