Summary
"What are casas de migrantes or migrant shelters? What has facilitated their emergence and development? What is their role in the migration process in Mexico? This book argues that migrant shelters emerge as an important type of "humanitarianism from below," function as an informal welfare system for people on the move and perform a critical intermediary role in the humanitarian architecture of migration in Mexico"-- Provided by publisher.
