You think you know the border. You're about to learn the truth. The U.S.–México border is more than a line on a map. It's a place of hardship and resilience, inequity and generosity, division and connection. In Hope on the Border, Gil Gillenwater draws on nearly four decades of firsthand experience to bring readers face-to-face with the realities of the world's most dangerous migrant corridor—and the hope that still thrives there. Through vivid storytelling and dramatic photography, Gillenwater reveals the heartache and humanity that define life on both sides of the border. His unflinching accounts expose the shared responsibilities of two nations, while his insights point to a deeper truth: Mexico's material poverty and America's spiritual poverty are intertwined.
