The End of Compassion: Children of Immigrants in the Age of Deportation provides a comprehensive look at a population at risk within the United States. This volume from the Ethnic and Racial Studies series brings together a recent collection of articles focused on the children of immigrants, particularly those whose parents arrived without legal authorization. As migration patterns shift toward temporary labor to meet American economic needs, the social landscape changes. This book examines the consequences of these shifts, covering both predictable outcomes and unexpected developments. Through detailed chapters, the text documents the nature and implications of various enforcement initiatives implemented by the government. This academic resource is designed for students and professionals in anthropology, sociology, and legal studies. It offers a deep look into how enforcement policies affect family structures and the lives of young people navigating the complexities of immigration status. By analyzing the intersection of labor needs and deportation policies, this collection serves as a vital resource for understanding contemporary social dynamics in the United States.
