Migrant Farmworkers in the United States, written by Seth M. Holmes, offers a penetrating look at the life, struggle, and resilience of Mexican migrants in today’s food system. This edition includes a new preface and an updated epilogue, with co-authorship by Jorge Ramirez-López, providing insight into the main characters’ involvement in human rights movements.
Holmes, an anthropologist and physician, blends theory and practice by sharing his own experiences with migrants and their healthcare. He investigated how market forces, racism, and anti-immigrant sentiment affect the health situation of farmworkers. This study provides valuable knowledge about social inequality in healthcare and the everyday reality faced by migrants.
