The Political Economy of Leaving Home: How Debt, International
Borders, and Deportation Inform Outmigration
This talk examines how the financial realities of outmigration from Central
America to the United States reinforce return attempts after deportation.
Because of the nature of mortgage payments, liens, and debt terms, deported
out-migrants often find themselves with little recourse except to try to
emigrate North again to find employment. This talk, therefore, examines how
prevailing narratives of migration ignore or work around a fundamental economic
reality--not one principally of poverty and underemployment but one rather of
indebtedness stemming from the significant costs of transnational migration
itself.
Speaker: John Kennedy, PhD student, Romance Studies, LASP Graduate Fellow,
Public Humanities Fellow, Cornell University
