Ángel A. Escamilla García

Ángel A. Escamilla García focuses on how vulnerable migrants like youth, indigenous people, and LGBTQ+ individuals experience and react to the violence they face during their migration journeys. He is currently working on his book manuscript entitled “Negotiating Violence: Central American Youth and their Precarious Journeys through Mexico,” which explores how Central American youth migrants traveling alone across Mexico on their way to the U.S. understand and respond to the constant and unpreventable violence and precariousness they face as they move. Ángel’s other research projects include a mixed-methods study of how gender, race, ethnicity, and language shape the international migration experiences of Guatemalan indigenous minors. He has a deep interest in research ethics and methods.
