<b>"Traces the deadly pipeline of assault weapons into the hands of organized crime."―<i>Rolling Stone</i> </b> MacArthur "Genius" Fellow Ieva Jusionyte turns the familiar border narrative upside down, following American guns as they move south into Mexico--and revealing how their violence ricochets back across the border. American guns have entangled the lives of people on both sides of the US-Mexico border in a vicious circle of violence. After treating wounded migrants and refugees seeking safety in the United States, anthropologist Ieva Jusionyte boldly embarked on a journey in the opposite direction--following the guns from dealers in Arizona and Texas to crime scenes in Mexico. An expert work of narrative nonfiction, <i>Exit Wounds</i> provides a rare, intimate look into the world of firearms trafficking and urges us to understand the effects of lax US gun laws abroad. Jusionyte masterfully weaves together the gripping stories of people who live and work with guns north and south of the border: a Mexican businessman who smuggles guns for protection, a teenage girl turned trained assassin, two US federal agents trying to stop gun traffickers, and a journalist who risks his life to report on organized crime. Based on years of fieldwork, <i>Exit Wounds </i>expands current debates about guns in America, grappling with US complicity in violence on both sides of the border.
