This book is an ethnographic witness to the everyday lives and suffering of Mexican migrants. Based on 5 years of research in the field (including berry-picking and traveling with migrants back and forth from Oaxaca up the West Coast), Holmes, an anthropologist and MD in the mold of Paul Farmer and Didier Fassin, uncovers how market forces, anti-immigrant sentiment, and racism undermine health and health care. Holmes' material is visceral and powerful - for instance, he trekked with his informants illegally through the desert border into Arizona, where they were apprehended and jailed by the Border Patrol. After he was released from jail (and his companions were deported back to Mexico), Holmes interviewed 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, participated in healing rituals, and mourned at funerals for friends. The result is a 'thick description' that conveys the full measure of struggle, suffering and resilience of these farmworkers.

读到作者和墨西哥劳工一起跨境不由得shock了一下。人类学家做民族志、定性研究与被研究者接触的边界是什么？研究者emphathy的程度有限制吗？如果没有，那么民族志有无客观性可言？还是说，所有的人文学科都其实并没有所谓的general objectification？

评分以后吃brunch时看到草莓和蓝莓时无法再做一个傻白甜了
评分跟Bourgois 完全是一路人 狂野的田野什么的 墨西哥偷渡者的心路历程和待遇跟在大城市打工的中国农民工没什么两样-但人家是跨国偷渡而中国农民工也是中国人好吗
