Immediately after the Second World War, the victorious Allies authorized the forced relocation of ethnic Germans from their homes across central and southern Europe to Germany.

And the losses were horrifying: at least five hundred thousand people, and perhaps many more, died while detained in former concentration camps, locked in trains, or after arriving in Germany malnourished, and homeless.

In this third edition of Border Games, Peter Andreas charts the rise and transformation in policing the flow of drugs and migrants across the US-Mexico border. Recent border crackdowns and wall-building campaigns, he argues, are not unprecedented. Rather, they are the outcome of an escalatory dynamic already in motion—but now played out on a far bigger stage, with higher stakes, and in new security and political contexts. Focusing on the power of symbolic politics and policy feedback effects, Andreas traces the logic behind such buildup.

In earlier times immigrants were generally "like us". Now, many immigrants are often Muslims, who not only dress distinctively, but practice a different religious creed as well. Many fear that terrorists will enter our country under the guise of immigrants. Christians, however, belong to another kingdom, the kingdom of Jesus the Messiah. A Christian response to the needs of refugees and immigrants should reflect their commitment to Christ more than their fears or political allegiances.

Every human being is part of a bigger family, which is figuratively represented by the family tree. We have roots that extend beyond places and cultures of our current residences. This is particularly true for people in diaspora. Our roots still weigh a lot into our everyday living irrespective of geographical distance and time. Thus, would it not be beneficial to know and explore the advantages in our roots and avoid losing out, and losing deep? This is the main message of this book, Voices from Home: Wisdom from our Diasporic Roots.
