      abstract = {"Lives in Transit chronicles the dangerous journeys of  Central American migrants in transit through Mexico.  Drawing on fieldwork in humanitarian aid shelters and other  key sites, the book examines the multiple forms of violence  that migrants experience as their bodies, labor, and lives  become implicated in global and local economies that profit  from their mobility as racialized and gendered others. At  the same time, it reveals new forms of intimacy, solidarity  and activism that have emerged along transit routes over  the past decade. Through the stories of migrants, shelter  workers and local residents, Vogt encourages us to  reimagine transit as both a site of violence and precarity  as well as social struggle and resistance"--Provided by  publisher.},
