""Behind the curtain" of produce aisles" according to H. McPherson. I was doing some research/reading on the topic of migrant farm workers and came across this book. This professor lived as a migrant worker (even making a dangerous illegal crossing from Mexico to the U.S.) to study this population's world. In short, I don't now walk through a grocery store's produce department in. "Anthropologist lives and works with migrant familys." according to Mousecard. The first half of this book was amazing, as he describes daily life as he lived with/alongside the migrant workers. The second half was more sociology and theory. Not bad at all, just surprised me.Maybe if he divided the book into 2 sections it would flow better.But his experiences make it worth every cent.. Put this on your "Must Read" list I purchased this for an Anthropology class. While I knew quite a bit on the topic of migrant farm workers, this ethnography illustrates the migration of the Triqui people and allows Holmes to depict medical, sociological, economic and public service issues in various regions. Great book!
"Dr. Holmes exposes the links among suffering, the inequalities related to the structural violence of global trade which compel migration, and the symbolic violence of stereotypes and prejudices that normalize racism." ---New York Journal of Books
An anthropologist and MD in the mold of Paul Farmer and Didier Fassin, Seth M. He lived with indigenous families in the mountains of Oaxaca and in farm labor camps in the U.S., planted and harvested corn, picked strawberries, and accompanied sick workers to clinics and hospitals. Holmes shows how market forces, anti-immigrant sentiment, and racism undermine health and health care. Fresh Fruit, Broken Bodies provides an intimate examination of the everyday lives and suffering of Mexican migrants in our contemporary food system. He trekked with his companions illegally through the desert into Arizona and was jailed with them before they were deported. Holmes's material is visceral and powerful. This "embodied anthropology" deepens our theoretical understanding of the ways in which social inequalities and suffering come to be perceived as normal and natural in society and in health care.
