It was family separation and kids in cages that drove Sarah Towle to the U.S. southern border. On discovering the many-headed hydra that is the U.S. immigration systemand the heroic determination of those caught under its kneeshe could never look away again. Crossing the Line: Finding America in the Borderlands charts Sarah's journey from outrage to activism to abolition as she exposes, layer by broken layer, the global deterrence to detention to deportation complex that is failing everyonesave the profiteers and demagogues who benefit from it.
Deftly weaving together oral storytelling, history, and memoir, Sarah illustrates how the U.S. has led the retreat from post-WWII commitments to protecting human rights. Yet within the web of normalized cruelty, she finds hope and inspiration in the extraordinary acts of ordinary people who prove, every day, there is a better way. By amplifying their voices and celebrating their efforts, Sarah reveals that we can welcome with dignity those most in need of safety and compassion. In unmasking the real root causes of the so-called crisis in human migration, she urges us to act before we travel much farther down our current courseone which history will not soon forgive, or forget.
