Description
Exiled Home: Salvadoran Transnational Youth in the Aftermath of Violence
Susan Bibler Coutin's study explores the experiences of young Salvadorans who migrated to the United States during the 1980-1992 civil war. Due to their youth and uncertain legal status, many struggled to reconcile their past and present lives.
Through in-depth interviews with these individuals, Coutin examines how they sought to heal from trauma by recording community histories, advocating for undocumented immigrants, and forging new relationships with the Salvadoran state. This nuanced analysis sheds light on the ways in which young migrants can reclaim a sense of national membership despite the violence associated with their migration.
