Item Description
Along the Migrant Trail: A Borderlands Portrait by Michael Hyatt delivers a powerful view of one of today’s most controversial journeys, the migratory passage of thousands of men, women, and children, from Mexico, Central America and other nations around the world, across the Arizona-Sonora border.
Michael Hyatt’s ground-level perspective frames the perilous trek from many vantage points, most uniquely through images of things left behind—artifacts of a journey that has become a pivotal issue in today’s national and international debate.
Hyatt’s photographs, in brilliant color and stark back-and-white discover a child’s sun-bleached dress, an American Eagle backpack lying on the parched earth, a copy of El Diario de Ana Frank with the pages blowing in the desert wind—telling a poignant story of the people who have hazarded this often fatal trip. We also see their faces and the faces of those coming to their aid, undaunted by the physical and political challenges, in an unforgettable portrait of humanity in action, preserving—and celebrating—the lives of others in need.
These are people whose names we may never know, whose faces we may never see, but whose lives are important to all of us...Michael Hyatt
Portraying the plight of the migrant has taken many forms. Michael Hyatt has captured many of the poignant moments that expand the suffering and hope of migrants to include elements of public policy and human compassion. Take time to be with the migrants in his work...Rev. Robin Hoover, author: Creating Humane Borders
