Migration and Violence in Bordered Worlds
Book •

Vitale centers migrants' voices and experiences to illuminate why people flee and the obstacles they face en route and upon arrival.
Her narrative exposes how enforcement strategies reshape migration flows and intensify vulnerability for displaced populations.
The work is both a compassionate chronicle and a critique of policies that prioritize control over humanitarian response.
