Review in English of the book Derechos humanos, migración y conflicto: hacia una justicia global descolonizada de Ariadna Estévez (UNAM-CISAN, 2014). (original) (raw)

Ariadna Estévez's book addresses the interplay between human rights and migration, focusing on the injustices faced by Central American migrants, particularly in the context of Mexico's drug war and U.S. asylum policies. The text critiques the non-recognition of migrant rights and explores the implications of border securitization, offering a normative framework advocating for postcitizenship and universal human rights recognition for migrants. Estévez's work stands out for its empirical grounding, critical theoretical perspectives, and a call for civic mobilization against rising xenophobia.
