FRUIT, Broken Bodies provides an intimate study of the everyday lives and struggling of Mexican migrants inside our contemporary food system. An anthropologist and MD in the mold of Paul Farmer and Didier Fassin, Seth M. Holmes displays how market forces, anti-immigrant sentiment, and racism undermine health insurance and healthcare. Holmes’s material can be visceral and effective. He trekked along with his companions illegally through the desert into Az and was jailed with them before they were deported. He resided with indigenous households in the mountains of Oaxaca and in plantation labor camps in the U.S., planted and gathered corn, selected strawberries, and followed sick workers to clinics and private hospitals. This ’embodied anthropology’ deepens our theoretical knowledge of the ways in which sociable inequalities and suffering become perceived as regular and organic in society and in health care.
