Overview

Launched in June 2018 after a week of intense collaboration among librarians, faculty, and graduate students, Torn Apart/Separados (TA/S) Volume 1 intervened in United States’ immigration debates with data narratives illuminating the effects of the government’s policy of separating families, which began at the Mexico-U.S. border but, as TA/S revealed, is, in fact, a national landscape of immigrant detention.
