1. Fresh Fruit, Broken Bodies
Migrant Farmworkers in the United States
An ethnographic account that follows indigenous Mexican farmworkers who move seasonally across the US–Mexico border to harvest produce, showing how immigration enforcement, labor precarity, racialization, language barriers, pesticide exposure, and lack of health care produce embodied harm. Based on participant observation and clinical encounters, it maps daily work and family strategies, arguing that structural violence — social, political, and economic forces — drives illness and injury and must be addressed through changes in policy and medical practice.
