Story4.5 out of 5 stars 148
In his gripping and provocative debut, anthropologist Jason De Leon sheds light on one of the most pressing political issues of our time - the human consequences of US immigration policy. The Land of Open Graves reveals the suffering and deaths that occur daily in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona as thousands of undocumented migrants attempt to cross the border from Mexico into the US.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 104
The desire for dignity is universal and powerful. It is a motivating force behind all human interaction - in families, in communities, in the business world, and in relationships at the international level. When dignity is violated, the response is likely to involve aggression, even violence, hatred, and vengeance. On the other hand, when people treat one another with dignity, they become more connected and are able to create more meaningful relationships.

Mindblowing!

Everyone who has been in a conflict knows that it is painful, but most people do not know why it is so painful. Anyone who has experienced being bullied, harassed or set aside knows that it hurts insanely, but few people know why it hurts and shame. All parents want to raise safe and harmonious children, but not everyone knows how. The theme of the book is dignity - what and how. I do not regret for a second that I have spent time on this book. And I will not only listen to it again, but also read it on paper! I can warmly recommend this book to anyone trying to understand the feeling of shame, insecurity, fear or the feeling of worthlessness, or for that matter, what makes one feel valued.
