Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fresh Fruit, Broken Bodies provides an intimate examination of the everyday lives, suffering, and resistance of Mexican migrants in our contemporary food system. Seth Holmes, an anthropologist and MD in the mold of Paul Farmer and Didier Fassin, shows how market forces, anti-immigrant sentiment, and racism undermine health and health care. Holmes was invited to trek with his companions clandestinely through the desert into Arizona and was jailed with them before they were deported. He lived with Indigenous families in the mountains of Oaxaca and in farm labor camps in the United States, planted and harvested corn, picked strawberries, and accompanied sick workers to clinics and hospitals. This “embodied anthropology” deepens our theoretical understanding of the ways in which social inequities come to be perceived as normal and natural in society and in health care. In a substantive new epilogue, Holmes and Indigenous Oaxacan scholar Jorge Ramirez-Lopez provide a current examination of the challenges facing farmworkers and the lives and resistance of the protagonists featured in the book.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume provides a vivid portrait of a transnational migrant community anchored in both the remote Mixteca region of Oaxaca and the San Diego metropolitan area. Drawing on surveys and interviews with migrants and potential migrants conducted by a binational research team in 2007-2008, the contributors show how the Oaxaca-based and the California-based natives of the town of San Miguel Tlacotepec have built parallel communities separated by an increasingly fortified international border. Their findings shed important new light on a range of vital issues in US immigration policy, including the efficacy and impact of border enforcement, how undocumented status affects health and education outcomes, and how modern telecommunications are shaping transborder migrant networks." -- Book cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Mexican migrants have found new lives in the United States, the appearance of migrant organizations reflects the revitalization of ancestral community life. One example, the Binational Oaxacan Indigenous Front, includes participants from cities along the border and represents diverse organizations of indigenous migrants from Oaxaca. Its creation reflects the vast changes that have taken place in migrants’ lives in less than thirty years. Mixtec Transnational Identity is the first book to describe in detail the emergence of a wide range of transnational indigenous organizations and communities in the greater Mexico–U.S. border region. It documents and analyzes the construction of novel identities formed within transnational contexts that may not conform to identities in either the “sending” or “receiving” societies. Laura Velasco Ortiz investigates groups located on both sides of the border that have maintained strong links with towns and villages in the Mixteca region of Oaxaca in order to understand how this transformation came about. Through a combination of survey, ethnography, and biography, she examines the formation of ethnic identity under the conditions of international migration, giving special attention to the emergence of organizations and their leaders as collective and individual ethnic agents of change. Velasco Ortiz reconstructs the Mixtec experience through three lines of analysis: the formation of organizations beyond the confines of home communities; the emergence of indigenous migrant leaders; and the shaping of ethnic consciousness that assimilates the experiences of a community straddling the border. Her research brings to light the way in which the dispersion of members of different communities is offset by the formation of migrant networks with family and community ties, while the politicization of these networks enables the formation of both hometown associations and transnational pan-ethnic organizations. An important focus of her analysis is gender differentiation within the ethnic community. There has been little research into the relationship between the process of collective agency and the reconstitution of the migrants’ ethnic identity. Mixtec Transnational Identity should stimulate further study of Latino migration to the U.S. border region and its consequences on ethnic identity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study analyzes the impact of labor migration on a Mixtec-speaking sending community in the Mixteca Alta of Oaxaca, Mexico. It considers migrant destinations, work experiences, skills and techniques learned abroad and possibly applied in the sending community, and remittances brought or sent home. This study seeks to provide an increased theoretical understanding of the concept of a migration stream and then demonstrate that each migration stream is made of distinct characteristics which correspond to specific changes and ramifications in the sending community. The emphasis is on comparing international migration between Mexico and Canada through a guestworker program to migration to the United States, with additional discussion of internal migration to Mexico City. Specifically, this project analyzes the impact of different types of migration on community political and religious structures, on the lives of women, on traditional artisan production, on community agriculture, and on perceptions of Mixtec culture and ethnicity. The ultimate goal of this research is a better understanding of how migration types are related to community change and ultimately community and regional perspectives of development and improvement in the quality of life. The analysis of the ramifications and potential benefits of migration on individuals and families dependent on migration in the Mixteca Alta has vital implications not only for future development in the Mixteca itself, but also as a model for community development testing and application in similarly-affected areas of Mexico and other countries. This study also provides perspectives on the benefits and challenges of international contract labor, insights significant for immigration and labor policy planners worldwide.
