Jim Brown reviewed Border Hacker by Levi Vonk
gonzo anthropology
Fullbright scholar travels through Mexico with a migrant caravan. Incredible and infuriating look at immigration in Mexico and its relationship to the U.S. border.
The ending section on methodology is interesting. The book's approach to narrative and voice is explained there, and it's what makes me describe this as "gonzo anthropology." There's not an IRB in the world that would approve this, but I'm glad it was written.
