SynopsisA National Bestseller * A New York Times Top 10 Book of 2024 * Named a Best Book of the Year by The New Yorker , Chicago Tribune , Newsweek , PBS NewsHour, LitHub , Kirkus Reviews, Publishers Lunch , Christian Science Monitor, and Counterpunch * One of Barack Obama's Summer Reading List Picks * Named a Notable Book by New York Times and Washington Post * Nominated for the Carnegie Medal for Excellence and the Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction "What an incredibly thorough documentation of the causes of the immigration crisis, the discussions that have been going on through multiple administrations." --Jon Stewart, The Daily Show " Everyone Who Is Gone Is Here is sure to take its place as one of the definitive accounts of the U.S. and Central American immigration puzzle. . . . Hopefully, those with the power to change things will listen." --Manuel Roig-Franzia, Washington Post An epic, heartbreaking, and deeply reported history of the disastrous humanitarian crisis at the southern border told through the lives of the migrants forced to risk everything and the policymakers who determine their fate, by New Yorker staff writer Jonathan Blitzer Everyone who makes the journey faces an impossible choice. Hundreds of thousands of people who arrive every year at the US-Mexico border travel far from their homes. For years, the majority came from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, but many more have begun their journey much farther away. Some flee persecution, others crime or hunger. They may have already been deported, but the United States remains their only hope for safety and prosperity. They will take their chances. As Jonathan Blitzer dramatizes with forensic, unprecedented reporting, this crisis is the result of decades of misguided policy and sweeping corruption. Brilliantly weaving the stories of Central Americans whose lives have been devastated by chronic political conflict and violence with those of American activists, government officials, and the politicians responsible for the country's tragically tangled immigration policy, Blitzer reveals the full, layered picture of this vast and unremitting conflict. Everyone Who Is Gone Is Here tells the epic story of the people whose lives ebb and flow across the border, delving into the heart of American life itself. This vital and remarkable story has shaped the nation's turbulent politics and culture in countless ways--and will almost certainly determine its future., A National Bestseller - A New York Times Top 10 Book of 2024 - Named a Best Book of the Year by The New Yorker , Chicago Tribune , Newsweek , PBS NewsHour, LitHub , Kirkus Reviews, Publishers Lunch , Christian Science Monitor, and Counterpunch - One of Barack Obama's Summer Reading List Picks - Named a Notable Book by New York Times and Washington Post - Nominated for the Carnegie Medal for Excellence and the Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction "What an incredibly thorough documentation of the causes of the immigration crisis, the discussions that have been going on through multiple administrations." --Jon Stewart, The Daily Show " Everyone Who Is Gone Is Here is sure to take its place as one of the definitive accounts of the U.S. and Central American immigration puzzle. . . .
