Description
Una lúcida exploración sobre las fronteras, la identidad y las ficciones que nos dividen.
>ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A lucid exploration of borders, identity, and the fictions that divide us.
There is no alien invasion. Migrants do not overwhelm borders, do not increase crime, do not take away jobs. And yet, millions of people are convinced that hordes of foreigners threaten their way of life. How did we get here? This essay dismantles, with relentless arguments, the greatest fiction of our time: that lie that turns the most vulnerable into monsters and transforms fear into politics. Because the real problem isn't migration, but those who insist that it is.
