Sand and Blood

In "Sand and Blood," award-winning journalist John Carlos Frey offers a revealing examination of the U.S.-Mexico border, portraying it as a battleground where militaristic policies and violent technologies converge against immigrants. Highlighting three decades of escalating U.S. immigration and border security measures, Frey uncovers how both major political parties have exploited fear for votes, while the War on Terror has shifted focus onto economic migrants and refugees. This compelling narrative takes readers through detention centers, border patrol outposts, and unmarked graves, shedding light on the human costs of these policies and the urgent issues that demand attention.
