Patient Citizens, Immigrant Mothers

According to the Latina health paradox, Mexican immigrant women have less complicated pregnancies and more favorable birth outcomes than many other groups, in spite of socioeconomic disadvantage. Alyshia Gálvez provides an ethnographic examination of this paradox. What are the ways that Mexican immigrant women care for themselves during their pregnancies? How do they decide to leave behind some of the practices they bring with them on their pathways of migration in favor of biomedical approaches to pregnancy and childbirth? This book takes us from inside the halls of a busy metropolitan hospital’s public prenatal clinic to the Oaxaca and Puebla states in Mexico to look at the ways Mexican women manage their pregnancies. The mystery of the paradox lies perhaps not in the recipes Mexican-born women have for good perinatal health, but in the prenatal encounter in the United States. Patient Citizens, Immigrant Mothers is a migration story and a look at the ways that immigrants are received by our medical institutions and by our society

Victim Activists in Mexico

Victim Activists in Mexico: Social and Political Mobilization amid Extreme Violence and Disappearances examines the collective action of the courageous family members of the disappeared in the midst of Mexico’s ongoing humanitarian crisis over the last decades. Yael Siman and Matthew Hone analyze this grassroots mobilization and argue that the activists have created rutinary, contentious, and innovative types of resistance through building local and trans-local links of support and solidarity that reinforce their struggle. This mobilization from below has contributed to constructing transitional justice including laws, public apologies, and memorials. The combination of internal and external factors impacting the collectives and their environment has enabled significant changes in the institutions, state responses, and the victimhood narratives in the country. This book adds to the scholarship on the collective action of grieving families by focusing on both the social and political aspects of mobilization.

The Boycott

The Boycott By: Melissa Hall Trace Ferris is an ordinary guy living an ordinary life. He has lived in the same small town all his life and works as a delivery truck driver. He visits his mother every weekend and spends his free time after work with his old high school buddies at the local dive bar. Trace is content with his life, for the most part. And things get even better when Felicity Holmes walks into his life—a self-assured, intelligent, funny, and drop-dead gorgeous woman, and the first woman he’s dated in a long time. As Felicity and Trace enjoy the beginning of their relationship, the political election season looms, and it brings with it a torrent of harsh smear campaigns, fear tactics, and pandering politicians. Sick of all the constant political drama, the couple decides to take a stand for the sake of their own peace of mind. They are boycotting all things politics. When people in the community start seeing how much happier they are, they join in on the boycott. As the movement grows, Trace and Felicity catch the attention of frustrated politicians who fear the disastrous effects it could have on the election.

Raza Si, Guerra No

This incisive and elegantly written examination of Chicano antiwar mobilization demonstrates how the pivotal experience of activism during the Viet Nam War era played itself out among Mexican Americans. ¡Raza Sí! ¡Guerra No! presents an engaging portrait of Chicano protest and patriotism. On a deeper level, the book considers larger themes of American nationalism and citizenship and the role of minorities in the military service, themes that remain pertinent today. Lorena Oropeza's exploration of the evolution, political trajectory, and eventual implosion of the Chicano campaign against the war in Viet Nam encompasses a fascinating meditation on Mexican Americans' political and cultural orientations, loyalties, and sense of status and place in American society.
