| Summary: | The reality of Central American migrations is broad, diverse, multidirectional, and uncertain. It also offers hope, resistance, affection, solidarity, and a sense of community for a region that has one of the highest rates of human displacement in the world.<br> <br> <br> <br> Central American Migrations in the Twenty-First Century tackles head-on the way Central America has been portrayed as a region profoundly marked by the migration of its people. Through an intersectional approach, this volume demonstrates how the migration experience is complex and affected by gender, age, language, ethnicity, social class, migratory status, and other variables. Contributors carefully examine a broad range of topics, including forced migration, deportation and outsourcing, intraregional displacements, the role of social media, and the representations of human mobility in performance, film, and literature. The volume establishes a productive dialogue between humanities and social sciences scholars, and it paves the way for fruitful future discussions on the region's complex migratory processes.<br> <br> <br> <br> Contributors <br> <br> Guillermo Acuña<br> <br> Andrew Bentley<br> <br> Fiore Bran-Aragón<br> <br> Tiffanie Clark<br> <br> Mauricio Espinoza<br> <br> Hilary Goodfriend<br> <br> Leda Carolina Lozier<br> <br> Judith Martínez<br> <br> Alicia V.
