About This Item
Eye to I/Great Circle Books. 2007. Trade paperback. Good. Signed by author. some label residue around bottom of spine, signed by author on 1st page. 40 p. Includes illustrations. . Migrant Artifacts: Magic and Loss in the Sonoran Desert bears witness to one of the world's most dangerous journeys-the migratory passage of thousands of undocumented workers north across the Arizona-Sonora border. Michael Hyatt's unsettling perspective frames the perilous trek through images of things left behind-artifacts of a journey that has become one of the most controversial issues in today's national and international political debate. Hyatt's stark black-and-white photographs-a child's sun-bleached dress, an American Eagle backpack lying on the parched earth, an abandoned religious icon, a copy of El Diaro de Ana Frank with the pages blowing in the desert wind-tell a poignant story of the people who have hazarded this often fatal trip. The faces are unseen, yet these unforgettable images show us a vibrant humanity in the discarded remnants of desperate lives even as we confront the brooding mystery of a fate unknown.
