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.

评分醫學人類學入門。作者花瞭一年半的時間和墨西哥移民一起在農場上工作和生活，還親身參與瞭非法跨境行動（過程及其驚心動魄，最後以失敗告終）。書主要探討瞭影響健康的社會結構性因素（the structural determinants of health）：新自由主義，基於民族和公民身份的等級觀念，以及聯邦和地方的反移民政策都在直接或間接影響著墨西哥移民工人的健康狀況，限製他們對於醫療和社會服務資源的獲取。
评分墨西哥移民在美國從事農業生産所遭受的惡劣待遇。首章寫法有些特殊，正文+民族誌筆記穿插
评分田野筆記和正文分析交替穿插交替，對於不知道怎麼把理論和經驗整閤在一起的學生也蠻討巧的寫作技術，學習瞭
