About This Item
Great Circle Books, 2007. Signed. Very Good. Penned price in upper corner of flyleaf. Minor shelf wear to cover with some minor rubbing and edge wear. Binding is tight. Light age-toning to edges of pages. Appears unopened / unread. Photo is of the copy we have here at Barbed Wire Books.
Migrant Artifacts: Magic and Loss in the Sonoran Desert bears witness to one of the world's most dangerous journeys - the migratory passage of thousands of undocumented workers north across the Arizona-Sonora border. Michael Hyatt's unsettling perspective frames the perilous trek through images of things left behind - artifacts of a journey that has become one of the most controversial issues in today's national and international political debate. Hyatt's stark black-and-white photographs - a child's sun-bleached dress, an American Eagle backpack lying on the parched earth, an abandoned religious icon, a copy of El Diaro de Ana Frank with the pages blowing in the desert wind - tell a poignant story of the people who have hazarded this often fatal trip. The faces are unseen, yet these unforgettable images show us a vibrant humanity in the discarded remnants of desperate lives even as we confront the brooding mystery of a fate unknown.
