And that is why being displaced, evicted, expelled, exiled is immensely destructive, not only to individuals and families, but also to communities.

Most of our fellow citizens underestimate or deny what is happening to the earth but understand perfectly well that the question of migrants imperils their dreams of a secure identity.

Latour, B. (2107). Où atterir? Comment s’orienter en politique]]> 2023-04-13 18:29:06 UTC https://padlet.com/rm3624/v94htmfp9dkp9tao/wish/2553575457 rm3624 https://padlet.com/rm3624/v94htmfp9dkp9tao/wish/2553576644 What is striking about the present situation is the extent to which missing people feel disoriented and lost for lack of representation of themselves and their interests. All behave in the same manner, those who move and those who do not move alike, those who emigrate and those who remain in place, those who describe themselves as "old stock" and those who feel like they are strangers: it is as if they have no durable and inhabitable ground beneath their feet and have to take refuge somewhere.

It’s a kind of forced migration, in time and space.This is also happening in the human world in spades. In regions like the Middle East and Central America, we are seeing forced displacement, some of which is climate migration. The drought in the Northern Triangle countries of Central America [Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador] is driving people off their land.
