A review by ceejeffe
The Devil's Highway by Luis Alberto Urrea

5.0

I did the unthinkable with this book and DOG EARED pages that I knew I would want to revisit. It is THAT good of a story and teaching book!

Luis Alberto does a phenomenal job drawing the WHOLE picture of immigration on the southern border. That includes the experiences of people who have made the trip and the stereotypes based on rhetoric to the policies and political, economic, and humanitarian pressures that have made this situation what it is.

Originally published in 2004, and my copy has an afterword from 2014. I hope Urrea shares an update in the next few years!
