The author uncovers how market forces, anti-immigrant sentiment, and racism undermine health and health care. He trekked with his informants illegally through the desert into Arizona and was jailed with them. After their deportation he interviewed U.S. 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, and mourned at funerals for friends. The result conveys the full measure of struggle, suffering, and resilience of migrant farmworkers. 650 0 $a Migrant agricultural laborers $z United States $x Social conditions. 941 $a 7 952 $l USUX851 $d 20211202012243.0 952 $l N2AX314 $d 20210728020636.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214015813.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20181016010608.0 952 $l HWAX074 $d 20180524044725.0 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20140917012422.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20130907014103.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=26DB306C178311E38ACA9288DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
