Description: Arguing for a structurally competent approach to migrant health, Embodied Politics shows how efforts to promote indigenous health may actually reinforce the same social and political economic forces, namely structural racism and neoliberalism, that are undermining the health of indigenous Oaxacans in Mexico and the United States.

Review Quotes: "Embodied Politics: Health Promotion in Indigenous Mexican Migrant Communities is timely, well-researched, and well-written. It was a pleasure to read and I look forward to using and recommending it in the future."--Seth Holmes "author of Fresh Fruit, Broken Bodies: Migrant Farmworkers in the United States"
