While debates surrounding Latin American undocumented migration often revolve around the southern US border, the majority of migrants do not cross this arbitrary line. Instead, they embark on a treacherous journey, often by water, traversing the Caribbean islands. \"Crossing Waters\" is the first study to examine literary and artistic representations of undocumented migration within the Hispanophone Caribbean, shedding light on the plight faced by these migrants.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough the analysis of works by novelists, short-story writers, poets, and visual artists, Marisel Moreno highlights the hardships and challenges these migrants endure. She draws attention to the role that Puerto Rico plays as a stepping-stone to the continental United States, as well as the complex space that emerges between Haiti and the Dominican Republic, the only terrestrial border in the Hispanophone Caribbean. While the Border Patrol garners headlines in the US, the Coast Guard haunts the nightmares of refugees.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Crossing Waters\" is an untold story filled with beauty, possibility, and sorrow. It encourages us to reexamine the geography and experience of undocumented migration, as well as the role that the Caribbean archipelago plays as a border zone. By exploring these themes, \"Crossing Waters\" offers a fresh perspective on a topic that has been overlooked and underrepresented in academic discourse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 x 28 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781477325605\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marisel C.
