Description: With a new preface and a new epilogue co - written with Jorge Ramirez - Lopez this updated edition of 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 new epilogue Holmes and Indigenous Oaxacan scholar Jorge Ramirez - Lopez provide a substantive update about the protagonists in the book focusing on the ways in which they have been involved individually and collectively in movements for Indigenous immigrant rights farmworker rights and the right to health over the last decade.
