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.

人類學傢寫的學農小結。建議美國課本加入李紳的《憫農》,通識教育加上學工學農項目。
评分還是結構暴力/象徵暴力加批判/呼籲的路子。

评分讀到作者和墨西哥勞工一起跨境不由得shock瞭一下。人類學傢做民族誌、定性研究與被研究者接觸的邊界是什麼?研究者emphathy的程度有限製嗎?如果沒有,那麼民族誌有無客觀性可言?還是說,所有的人文學科都其實並沒有所謂的general objectification?
