Episode 231: Levi Vonk and "Border Hacker"

Author and anthropologist Levi Vonk joins us to discuss his book Border Hacker, co-narrated with Axel Kirschner, a fascinating character caught between countries. Guatemalan by birth but raised in Queens, Axel was deported from the US and met up with Levi when they both joined a migrant caravan traveling through Mexico. Border Hacker is the story of their friendship, their adventures in navigating corrupt systems and entanglements, and the cruelty of American immigration policies. The book is fascinating, and Levi offers an unprecedented window into immigration issues, on an individual and global basis. A heartbreaking and heartwarming episode.
