Summary

• "'Los migrantes que no importan' es el primer libro publicado sobre la migraci?n centroamericana a su paso por M?xico y en definitiva, el texto m?s importante que se ha escrito sobre el tema. Es un libro que naci? de la rabia, dice ?scar Mart?nez, su autor. En un recorrido por todo el pa?s, Mart?nez da cuenta de los avatares y vicisitudes de miles de personas que, obligadas a migrar, se internan por los caminos de M?xico con la firme intenci?n de llegar a los Estados Unidos. Estructurado en 14 cr?nicas de viaje, escritas con una sensibilidad period?stica, 'Los migrantes que no importan' nos lleva del enojo y el dolor, a la revelaci?n, y de ah? a buscar la acci?n pol?tica para que nadie, nunca, deje de importar."--Pendulo.com
• "'Migrants who do not matter' is the first book published on the Central American migration to the US passing through Mexico and ultimately, the most important text ever written on the subject. It is a book born of rage, says the author ?scar Mart?nez. On a tour around the country, Mart?nez realizes avatars and vicissitudes of thousands of people, forced to migrate, who take to the roads of Mexico with the full intention of arriving in the United States. Structured in 14 travel stories, in a journalistic style, 'Migrants who do not matter' takes us from the anger and pain, to the revelation of the truth, and then to seek political action so that no one, ever, stops caring."
