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。
评分田野笔记和正文分析交替穿插交替,对于不知道怎么把理论和经验整合在一起的学生也蛮讨巧的写作技术,学习了
评分读到作者和墨西哥劳工一起跨境不由得shock了一下。人类学家做民族志、定性研究与被研究者接触的边界是什么?研究者emphathy的程度有限制吗?如果没有,那么民族志有无客观性可言?还是说,所有的人文学科都其实并没有所谓的general objectification?
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
评分关于墨西哥劳工跨美和在美的悲惨生活。第一次读关于大量的在美墨西哥劳工的书籍,有两点印象。一,感觉赴美墨西哥劳工有点像中国农民工,经济原因移民,但最终还是愿意回到故乡,从不奢求在打工地扎根。(有一点特别像,很多墨西哥劳工不辞老远危险赴美打工都是为回家盖更好的房子)二,墨西哥没有像马达加斯加khat那样的当地另类经济,所以贫穷加无工作可寻驱使大部分墨西哥青壮年远赴异乡打拼;相对之下有另类经济的边缘化地区,即使当地正当工作仍然很少,人民也更愿意留在当地。回到本田野志,除了一手的田野笔记,理论解释和提出的改善办法都无多大深度。
