Description:
"It is impossible to understand Venezuela without considering the massive migration of European and Latin American citizens who arrived on its shores between the 19th and 20th centuries. Now, it is equally impossible to understand the country without acknowledging the millions of Venezuelans who have fled in the past decade.
This book helps grasp the full magnitude of the tragedy. It tells the story of when and how Venezuela ceased to be a land of refuge and instead became a machine that expels its citizens, now scattered across more than a hundred countries." (Konrad Adenauer Stiftung, translated from Spanish by Archivo Venezuela)
