Les migrations des pays du Sud vers les pays du Nord constituent un enjeu majeur de l’ère globale, marqué par une profonde contradiction entre les logiques des migrants et celles des États qui, refusant de les recevoir, luttent activement contre ces flux. Toutefois ces mesures paraissent peu efficaces car elles ignorent les forces et les réseaux sociaux qui sous-tendent la migration. La migration centraméricaine vers les États-Unis en est un exemple flagrant. Partant de ce constat et s’appuyant à la fois sur un riche corpus bibliographique et sur des enquêtes de terrain durant lesquelles il a suivi un groupe de migrants depuis le Guatemala jusqu’en Floride, l’auteur analyse les effets du décalage entre les logiques des migrants et celles des politiques migratoires et montre comment les obstacles à la migration renforcent les réseaux en générant une structure sociale formée de liens de réciprocité qui permettent d’accomplir la migration. Cet ouvrage est une analyse des politiques migratoires contemporaines et du lien social qui relie les acteurs au sein des réseaux de migrants.

"Knitting the Fog is a memoir of ten-year-old Claudia, a young Guatemalan girl, whose mother leaves for the United States to escape domestic abuse and pursue economic prosperity. When her mother returns three years later, she and her sisters begin a month-long journey to El Norte. Once settled in Los Angeles, California, Claudia has trouble assimilating, but when back in Guatemala, she finds that she no longer belongs there either. Hernández's debut depicts the struggle inherent to immigration today, combining both narrative essay and bilingual poetry"--

Guatemala is a major transit point for drugs bound for the United States and the recipient of U.S. counternarcotics aid and technical assistance, much of which is provided through U.S. Southern Command (USSOUTHCOM) and U.S. Army South. As a first step by Guatemala in putting this aid to work toward developing its own counternarcotics capacity, the president of Guatemala established the Interagency Task Force (IATF) Tecún Umán. USSOUTHCOM has expressed the intent to apply the IATF as a model to other similarly porous border regions in the area. Thus, documenting and using lessons from the IATF Tecún Umán will help in the development of new and similar units. This report is intended to support that lessons-learned function, demonstrate how these preliminary lessons are being applied to future IATF development, and provide recommendations on how to resolve remaining IATF challenges. Lessons learned include the importance of establishing the interagency legal framework early, clearly defining the interagency relationships, developing an intelligence capability organic to the task force, implementing police authority and leadership, identifying measures of success, communicating the IATF's purpose and success to the public, and maintaining equipment. Remaining tasks include resolving the duality-of-command issue, improving operational planning capability, addressing corruption problems, and addressing IATF Tecún Umán issues before refocusing efforts to IATF Chortí. The United States has played a key role in supporting Guatemala's efforts to overcome these challenges. By investing in the IATF and building capacity, the United States will contribute to the Guatemalans' ability to sustain the IATF themselves.
