Marisel Moreno’s book about undocumented migration wins Caribbean Studies Association’s most prestigious prize
Notre Dame professor Marisel Moreno’s book about the largely unknown and dangerous phenomenon of undocumented sea migration within the Caribbean region has won the Gordon K. and Sybil Lewis Book Award, the Caribbean Studies Association’s most prestigious prize. In Crossing Waters: Undocumented Migration in Hispanophone Caribbean and Latinx Literature & Art, Moreno seeks to lift the veil of invisibility around intra-Caribbean undocumented migration. “Being recognized by my field’s premier scholarly organization is one of the greatest honors of my life,” she said.
