Mexico is the most difficult part of the journey for Honduran migrants. Many are injured or die in the hands of gangs, police, and from freight trains they travel on top of. The U.S.-Mexico border presents only the final barrier; many don't even reach it. Sládková also explores the psychological processes migrants employ to process their experiences of the dangerous journey, which most would never undergo again.New Americans (LFB Scholarly Publishing LLC)HonduransUnited StatesUndocumented immigrantsUnited StatesImmigrantsUnited StatesMigrant laborUnited StatesUnited StatesEmigration and immigrationPsychological aspectsHondurasEmigration and immigrationPsychological aspectsElectronic books.HonduransUndocumented immigrantsImmigrantsMigrant labor973/.004687283Sládková Jana995842MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462557703321Journeys of undocumented Honduran migrants to the United States2281830UNINA
