This book is an ethnographic witness to the everyday lives and suffering of Mexican migrants. Based on 5 years of research in the field (including berry-picking and traveling with migrants back and forth from Oaxaca up the West Coast), Holmes, an anthropologist and MD in the mold of Paul Farmer and Didier Fassin, uncovers how market forces, anti-immigrant sentiment, and racism undermine health and health care. Holmes' material is visceral and powerful - for instance, he trekked with his informants illegally through the desert border into Arizona, where they were apprehended and jailed by the Border Patrol. After he was released from jail (and his companions were deported back to Mexico), Holmes interviewed Border Patrol agents, local residents and armed vigilantes in the borderlands. He lived with indigenous Mexican families in the mountains of Oaxaca and in farm labor camps in the United States, planted and harvested corn, picked strawberries, accompanied sick workers to clinics and hospitals, participated in healing rituals, and mourned at funerals for friends. The result is a 'thick description' that conveys the full measure of struggle, suffering and resilience of these farmworkers.
非常推荐的一本书。
评分跟Bourgois 完全是一路人 狂野的田野什么的 墨西哥偷渡者的心路历程和待遇跟在大城市打工的中国农民工没什么两样-但人家是跨国偷渡而中国农民工也是中国人好吗
评分这真是一本让人质疑人类学方法论和伦理观的书。田野调查做得不错。
评分以后吃brunch时看到草莓和蓝莓时无法再做一个傻白甜了
评分医学人类学入门。作者花了一年半的时间和墨西哥移民一起在农场上工作和生活,还亲身参与了非法跨境行动(过程及其惊心动魄,最后以失败告终)。书主要探讨了影响健康的社会结构性因素(the structural determinants of health):新自由主义,基于民族和公民身份的等级观念,以及联邦和地方的反移民政策都在直接或间接影响着墨西哥移民工人的健康状况,限制他们对于医疗和社会服务资源的获取。
