Jason De León is a distinguished anthropologist, author, and researcher specializing in migration, border policy, and the socio-political forces shaping human mobility. As the director of the Undocumented Migration Project, he has spent years documenting the harrowing realities faced by migrants traveling from Central America to the United States, shedding light on the economic collapse, gang violence, political corruption, and climate change that force individuals to leave their homelands. His work, deeply informed by cultural relativism and class consciousness, challenges mainstream narratives about immigration, emphasizing the human stories behind migration rather than viewing migrants as statistics. Through books like The Land of Open Graves and Soldiers and Kings, Jason explores the shadow economies, exploitation, and systemic failures that perpetuate migration cycles. His research highlights the intersections of capitalism, corruption, and U.S. policy, making him a leading voice in the fight for a more nuanced and empathetic understanding of migration.
