"Leave If You Can is a captivating ethnography that explores the scars of US intervention, the securitization of migration, and the social marginalization of young men in Honduras. Amelia Frank-Vitale challenges conventional understandings of deportation as exile, revealing it instead as an ordinary, yet no less violent, facet of everyday life."--Lauren Heidbrink, author of Migranthood: Youth in a New Era of Deportation "Rigorously researched, Leave If You Can captures the ordinary violence of deportation that weaves seamlessly with the everyday violence of poverty in Honduras. Frank-Vitale writes with clarity and compassion against the cruelty of shifting global immigration policies, making this a timely and essential read."--Leisy Abrego, author of Sacrificing Families: Navigating Laws, Labor, and Love Across Borders
