Description

Inside Siglo XXI, a notorious migrant detention center in Mexico, journalist Belén Fernández offers a unique and unflinching account of life inside the facility. Detained herself after faulty paperwork, Fernández gained access to speak with detained women from diverse countries, including Honduras, Cuba, Haiti, and Bangladesh. Their stories of hardship and danger on their journey north form the core of this book, revealing the resilience of those seeking a better life.

The Siglo XXI center serves as a striking metaphor for a 21st century where poor people are effectively imprisoned by American policies, yet display remarkable strength in the face of adversity. This book provides a precise and moving portrayal of the human experience, shedding light on the complexities of immigration and the treatment of migrants.
