LONGLISTED FOR THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZEA NEW YORK TIMES BEST BOOK
OF 2024SELECTED FOR BARACK OBAMA'S READING LIST 2024'Urgent,
extraordinary . . .a tribute to the astonishing indomitability of
the human spirit.' - Patrick Radden Keefe, bestselling author
Empire of Pain'Moving, sweeping, and masterful' - Sally Hayden,
author of My Fourth Time, We DrownedNew Yorker journalist Jonathan
Blitzer has been covering the immigration crisis at America’s
southern border for nearly a decade, but the current emergency is
the end of a much larger story. In this, his first book, Blitzer
goes back to the beginning: to the shadowy civil wars in El
Salvador and Guatemala in the 1980s, to the American prison system
in the 1990s and the policies of mass deportation that transformed
local street criminals into international crime syndicates, to
Honduras’s brutal crackdown on crime in the 2000s and the emergence
of gangs across Central America and the United States. And then the
Trump era, in which immigration became a vector of resurgent
populism, with mass internments the order of the day.Everyone Who
Is Gone Is Here is a fresh and full account of America’s
immigration problems, but it is much more than that. It is an
odyssey of struggle and resilience, telling the epic story of
people whose lives ebb and flow across the border and those who
help and hinder them. It is a gripping and persuasive attempt to
answer not only the question of how America got there, but the
vital question of who we are and who we want to be in our liberal
Western democracies, whether we are incarcerating children on our
southern borders or watching them drown on the shores of the
Mediterranean.‘This is one of the pre-eminent political issues of
our time, and Blitzer explores it in reportage of the expensive,
often courageous, gumshoe kind . . .breathtaking.’ - Guardian'What
an incredibly thorough documentation of the causes of the
immigration crisis, the discussions that have been going on through
multiple administrations.' - Jon Stewart, The Daily Show
