Central America on the Move: Migration, Asylum & Transnational Adoption

Join historian Rachel Nolan and journalist Jonathan Blitzer to discuss their new books on Central America’s close and fraught relations with the U.S., past and present. Two forms of different but related migrations have linked the regions: asylum-seeking and international adoption. Connecting the historical realities of political violence in Central America to our present immigration impasses helps us see this mass movement of people in a new way.
