Title: The home of a real national emergency
Authors: Amelia Frank-Vitale
Source: Washington Post, The. 02/17/2019.
Abstract: Amelia Frank-Vitale is a doctoral candidate in anthropology at the University of Michigan. Since I moved to San Pedro Sula, Honduras, in September 2017 to do research for my doctoral dissertation, I've accompanied a 16-year-old with three bullet holes in his body to the hospital, only to find that there was no blood for transfusions. I've looked in the face of a young mother, anguished over whether she should try to make it the United States, because the gang that she used to be a part of but had left behind wanted to pull her back in. I've gotten tearful phone calls from a single mother and her two children, who have been told by a gang that they want her house - and she has nowhere else to go. I've talked to many families whose teenagers have been taken away by police, never to be seen again. And I've also talked to police officers who have given up on law enforcement here, as their superiors undermine honest work and reward corruption. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
