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.

田野筆記和正文分析交替穿插交替,對於不知道怎麼把理論和經驗整閤在一起的學生也蠻討巧的寫作技術,學習瞭
评分我的醫學人類學入門吧,Seth跟著墨西哥移民一起穿沙漠到美國,作為一個白人睡在衣櫃裏自閉寫齣的作品,沿用福柯structual violence理論探討health的結構性因素。直覺反應當然是質疑他田野的倫理啦,但不得不承認他和研究對象的關係亦師亦友吧,給研究對象傢裏的小孩提供學業上的幫助,也為他們提供瞭很多法律的援助(尤其是簽證上的),自己也參與瞭太多social movement。
评分非常推薦的一本書。
评分墨西哥移民在美國從事農業生産所遭受的惡劣待遇。首章寫法有些特殊,正文+民族誌筆記穿插
评分這真是一本讓人質疑人類學方法論和倫理觀的書。田野調查做得不錯。
