Anthropologist Susan Bibler Coutin has worked with Salvadoran refugees and their children for over thirty years. Here, she dwells with the 1.5 and 2 generations, in the United States and as deportees. Their voices are eloquent, some stories shocking. No one crosses the border in either direction once and for all, but there is no going back from what we learn here. --Carol J. Greenhouse, author of The Paradox of Relevance: Ethnography and Citizenship in the United States Exiled Home is an invaluable text, in which Susan Bibler Coutin builds upon her decades of critical ethnographic engagement with the Salvadoran diaspora to produce a theoretically rich and textured analysis of the children and youth who migrated with their families to the United States during the Salvadoran civil war (1980-92). -- Irina Carlota Silber * Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute * Focusing on Salvadoran migration, the book not only shows that Central American migration to the US is not new, but also that Salvadorans' migratory experience is characterized by different forms of violence and uncertainty that are not bounded to national territories or categories. Exiled Home contributes to understanding how Salvadoran youth migrants expand what it means to be Salvadoran and American. -- Lurio Gutierrez Rivera * Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology * For anyone wishing to understand what is at stake with the cancelation of TPS and DACA, the proposed changes to make asylum even harder to get, or the waves of caravans coming out of Central America, [Exiled Home] is essential. It will be useful and timely for courses from any discipline on immigration as well as political and legal anthropology. -- Amelia Frank-Vitale * Border Criminologies * Exiled Home is a testament to many things-the importance of ?eldwork, the signi?cance of critical thought, the power of political participation-but the book also evidences the gift of longstanding ethnographic engagements. -- Kevin Lewis O'Neill * Anthropological Quarterly * An illuminating example of how to effectively and creatively mesh theory with qualitative data. . . . A carefully crafted, humane portrayal of the broad-ranging and common experiences of Salvadoran migrant children living in the United States and those violently reinserted in El Salvador. -- Shirley A. Heying * Journal of Anthropological Research * At a time when more people than ever are being displaced from their homelands, Coutin's vivid, youth-centered analysis offers a potent and instructive understanding both of those who migrate and of those who are exiled home. -- Ruth Gomberg-Munoz * American Anthropologist * Exiled Home constitutes a timely and sophisticated scholarly piece that entails a thorough methodological discussion and makes for fascinating reading. By placing deportation within an institutional and policy context and considering the experiences of undocumented immigrants raised in or deported from the host country, the book complements an existing literature that is largely concerned with the reasons for migration, the situation of adult immigrants, and the impact of remittances. The work makes an impassioned plea to legalize youths who are US citizens in all but immigration status and should prove of interest in both academic and policy circles. -- Sonja Wolf * International Migration Review * Exiled Home constitutes a timely and sophisticated scholarly piece that entails a thorough methodological discussion and makes for fascinating reading.

The analytic lens of violence allows her to excavate the ripple effects of living in tenuous legality, weaving analysis and narrative and moving deftly between personal biography and structures to bring out the perspective of immigrant youth that often goes unregistered. This superb account contributes immensely to scholarship by adding insight, voices, visibility, and humanity.
