This ethnography is about individuals from Central America who are hoping to migrate to the U.S. by crossing the U.S./Mexico border and the violence which meets them at the various stages -- in their home countries, during their journey, and at the border.
The ethnography is about young Internet users in Ghananian internet cafes. The author tries to understand and explain how the spread of the internet through globalizations materialized in this African country. Young Ghananians wanted to counteract the structural inequalities, imobility, and marginalization that they faced by turning to the supposingly "free" internet. However, they continued to encounter marginalization due to their identity.
