  • Profiles of cardiometabolic risk and acculturation indicators among South Asians in the US

    Open Access•Francisco Alejandro Montiel Ishino, Katia M Canenguez et al.•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Public Health•2024

    Background: South Asians (SA) represent the fastest growing US immigrant group, and previous studies have indicated that they face disproportionately high burden of cardiometabolic disease. Cardiometabolic disease manifests as a syndemic or synergistic epidemic encompassing multiple disease clusters influenced by biological, social, and psychological factors stemming from the acculturative process. This process may exacerbate morbidity within imm…

  • Why Not Stay

    J H Cohen, Paulette Kershenovich Schuster et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of Business…•2024

    The pressure to migrate is powerful in Oaxaca, Mexico. Oaxaca’s Central Valleys region saw a rapid, steep rise in emigration to the United States beginning in the 1990s. While the rate has slowed in recent decades, and in response to demographic forces that have impacted the area, there is still a steady flow of migrants moving to destinations within Mexico and to the United States. Yet not everyone chooses to migrate. In this paper, we review th…

  • Musical Interludes and Teaching Laboratory

    Open Access•J H Cohen, Andrew Mitchel•ARTICLE•Teaching Anthropology•2024

    We report on two exercises, musical interludes and the teaching laboratory, we developed for use in Economic Anthropology courses. The Musical Interlude asks students to present a song to the class (typically using a music video) and responding to a series of questions, summarizing the ways it reflects course themes. For the teaching laboratory, students are organized into working groups and collectively analyse and present their selections durin…

  • Evaluating the indigenous response to Covid-19 in rural Oaxaca, Mexico

    Open Access•J H Cohen, Andrew Mitchel et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Global Health•2023

    The novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has faded from the headlines as infection and mortality rates decline, yet remains a challenge to rural and indigenous communities in locations like Oaxaca, Mexico [1]. Rurality and indigeneity create further obstacles to communities’ effective response to the continued [...]

  • Let the Kids Play

    Open Access•Andrew Mitchel, J H Cohen•ARTICLE•Journal of Sport and Social Issues•2023•Cited by: 1•References: 13

    Major League Baseball's (MLB) unwritten rules and unspoken norms communicate the continuing role that white American cultural values have within the sport. Coded into the past and present, foreign-born players, especially those from Latin America, confront these norms as they arrive to MLB with a distinctly Caribbean tíguere style of play. MLB seeks to overcome these differences by promoting its young Latino superstars through the marketing campa…

  • Echoes of Colour Discrimination in Refugee Protection Regime

    Open Access•Sunday Israel Oyebamiji, Olumide Oyewole OYEBADE et al.•ARTICLE•MIGRATION LETTERS•2022

    After 71 years of commitment to the principles of the Refugee Convention and an obligation to protection; the international system faces challenges as socio-political, economic and security concerns become alibis that betray fidelity to the treaty and are manifest in discrimination and expulsions of asylum-seekers, migrants and refugees. Our paper examines this collapse and highlights themes of covert colour politics and discrimination vis-a-vis …

  • Exploring the Digital Divide among the Bhutanese Refugee Community during Covid-19

    Open Access•J H Cohen, Arati Maleku et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2022

    The digital divide proved a critical barrier to accessing information and healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic and negatively impacted the Bhutanese refugee community. Moving beyond a technological model of the digital divide that highlights a lack of access to computers and the internet, we engaged the community to co-produce a dynamic approach that identifies the impact of socio-cultural and socio-environmental factors as well. Our paper rep…

  • Hispanic/Latino Acculturation Profiles and Telomere Length

    Open Access•Francisco Alejandro Montiel Ishino, Chandrasekar S Kousik et al.•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Public Health•2021

    Background: Acculturation profiles and their impact on telomere length among foreign-born Hispanics/Latinos living in the United States (US) are relatively unknown. The limited research available has linked acculturation with shortened telomere length. Objectives: To identify acculturation profiles among a US representative sample of Hispanics/Latinos and to then examine telomere length differences between profiles. Methods: We conducted a latent…

  • Challenges, inequalities and Covid-19

    Open Access•J H Cohen, Nydia Delhi Mata-Sánchez•ARTICLE•Global Public Health•2021

    COVID-19 is a challenge for indigenous communities in Mexico. Social inequalities and limited access to services combine with historical patterns of discrimination to amplify its negative impacts. Nevertheless, there are important ways in which indigenous communities organise and respond. Our paper, organised in three parts, summarises these challenges as well as the response. In the first section, we introduce indigenous Oaxaca and the challenge…

  • Arancini, Identity, and the Refugee Debate in Sicily

    Open Access•Enzo Zaccardelli, J H Cohen•ARTICLE•MIGRATION LETTERS•2021

    In August of 2018, the Italian national government prohibited North African passengers onboard the Diciotti from disembarking in Catania, Sicily. The ship had docked amid an ongoing debate over how Italy should respond to an increasing number of immigrants and refugees arriving to the nation’s shores. Pro-migrant Sicilians came to the dock wielding arancini--fried rice balls--which are emblematic of the island's history and culture, as a way to s…

  • Rethinking remittance

    Open Access•J H Cohen, Natalia Zotova•ARTICLE•Economic Anthropology•2021•Cited by: 3•References: 62

    The World Bank notes that officially recorded remittances reached $689 billion in 2018, including $529 billion to low- and middle-income countries. While these figures are mind-boggling and potentially render the act of migration as a clear decision, they do not communicate the social challenges that result for movers and nonmovers around migration and remitting. Our article is organized to better understand the complexities that surround remitta…

  • Left Behind? Russia’s Entry Bars and Gender Relations in Tajikistan

    Open Access•Natalia Zotova, J H Cohen•ARTICLE•Nationalities Papers•2020•Cited by: 2•References: 64

    Russia remains the destination of choice for Tajik migrants. Its migration policies have profound implications for migrants’ legal status and capacity to remit and return home. This article draws on ethnographic research in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, and explores how the enforcement of Russia’s immigration laws affects Tajik migrants and their families. By 2016, over 300,000 Tajik migrants were issued entry bars ( zapret na v’ezd ) for three or more y…

  • Climate change, uncertainty and allostatic load

    Open Access•Douglas E Crews, N C Kawa et al.•ARTICLE•Annals of Human Biology•2019

    CONTEXT: Humans constantly respond to environmental stressors challenging their somatic stability. Allostasis, an evolved neuroendocrine/physiological stressor response system, is our main pathway for doing so. Effective allostasis returns somatic systems to their current optima; over a lifetime of stressor responses, related systems fail, effectiveness declines, and physiological dysregulation (i.e. allostatic load) increases. Global Climate Cha…

    This study explores the formation of the urban middle class in Tajikistan, a low‐income country in which large outmigration has developed over the past decades. Our study uses a Bourdieusian framework to note the ways international migration creates opportunities for class in the context of socio‐political constraints, which hinder upward social mobility of Tajikistan's population. Drawing from ethnographic research in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, our s…

  • Approaching Migration

    Open Access•J H Cohen•ARTICLE•MIGRATION LETTERS•2018

    Migration is a dynamic process, difficult to frame and even harder to predict. Unlike other key events (most specifically death), migration follows uncertain pathways and reflects securities and insecurities that tend to play out across diverse social landscapes and include movers, non-movers as well as households and communities. Nevertheless, as the articles in this volume of Migration Letters reveal we continue to explore migration and its his…

  • Cultures of Migration and Conflict in Contemporary Human Mobility in Turkey

    Open Access•Ibrahim Sirkeci, J H Cohen•ARTICLE•European Review•2016•Cited by: 19•References: 9

    We approach Turkish mobility using a culture of migration perspective with reference to conflict. Conflicts are defined broadly into an array of situations including minor disputes, tensions or latent conflicts on the one hand and major violent events on the other. These situations, defined along a security continuum shape individual perceptions. Increasing perceptions of human insecurity are positively correlated to a rise in migration propensit…

  • Internal Migration in Oaxaca

    J H Cohen, Bernardo Ramírez Ríos•ARTICLE•International Journal of Sociology•2016•Cited by: 2•References: 2

    The contemporary study of Mexican migration typically highlights international, cross-border, U.S.-bound movement. The rapid increase in migration to the United States in the 1980s and 1990s and its continued importance to movers and nonmovers as well as sending and destination communities is not in doubt, yet, the role of internal mobility—movement that takes migrants from their hometowns and communities to destinations within their country of o…

  • Ethnographic Inquiry in the "Digitized" Fields of Madre de Dios, Peru and Oaxaca, Mexico

    Gordon Ulmer, Gordon L Ulmer et al.•ARTICLE•Anthropological Quarterly•2016•Cited by: 1

    Instant messaging and video teleconferencing over social media are common 21st century ethnographic practices that crisscross physical and digital spaces. While this multimodal approach to fieldwork has increasingly become the norm in anthropology and other related disciplines, there is little discussion of the dynamism between various computer/smartphone-mediated forms of inquiry and how digital and face-to-face “classical” ethnographic methods …

  • Reform and the HuKou System in China

    Open Access•Rong Cui, J H Cohen•ARTICLE•MIGRATION LETTERS•2015

    China created the dual hukou system in an effort to modernize and manage rural to urban migration. The system restricted the mobility of most Chinese and limited rural peasant migration. In 1978 the demand for labour increased rapidly and rules controlling migration, including the hukou system were loosen to encourage relocation. The establishment of a semi-capitalist market system in 1991 further encouraged the flow of labour and forced the libe…

  • The Social and Economic Production of Greed, Cooperation, and Taste in an Ohio Food Auction

    Open Access•J H Cohen, Susan M Klemetti•ARTICLE•Economic Anthropology•2014

    Monthly food auctions in Saint Mary's, Ohio, are events where individuals and their families have the opportunity to purchase a variety of foods at bargain prices. We might assume that the opportunity to fill the pantry while saving money would encourage greed and hoarding. An individual can bid strategically to amass resources (here defined as the supply of food available for consumption or resale) at the expense of others who are not as adept o…

  • Latino Immigrants, Discrimination and Reception in Columbus, Ohio

    Open Access•J H Cohen, Nidia Merino Chavez•ARTICLE•International Migration•2013•Cited by: 13•References: 1

    Columbus, Ohio has witnessed rapid growth in its Latino population as immigrants settle in the city to access jobs and a generally low cost of living. Immigrants also face discrimination as they settle in Columbus and interact with the city's citizens. In this paper, we note how discrimination plays out in social and economic isolation; a lack of programs to support the incorporation of Latinos in the city; and state laws that target immigrants. …

  • Migration, Remittances, and Household Strategies

    J H Cohen•ARTICLE•Annual Review of Anthropology•2011•Cited by: 52•References: 99

    In this review, I examine the meaning, place, and role of remittances for migrants (movers) and for their sending households and communities. I define remittances as more than economic and explore the cultural and social value of remittances as well as the ways in which transnational space is created as movers and nonmovers interact. Although remittances are often critical to the well-being and survival of migrant sending households, this review …

  • Transnational Migration in Rural Oaxaca, Mexico

    Open Access•J H Cohen, Jeffrey H Cohen Jeffrey H Cohen•ARTICLE•American Anthropologist•2001•Cited by: 51•References: 32

    Contradictory models of dependency and development have dominated the discussion of migration between Mexico and the United States. Transnational models of migration resolve these contradictions by defining a series of interdependencies (economy and society, for example). Using data collected in a rural Zapotec community in Oaxaca, Mexico, this article focuses on three areas: the stage-specific development of transnational movement; the domestic …

    To better understand the positive contributions return migrants and migrant remittances make in Latin American society, this paper offers a reevaluation of existing conceptual frameworks. Previous research dwelt upon the unproductive nature of expenditures and the difficulties facing return migrants as they reintegrate themselves in home communities, among other problems caused by migration.

  • Object and Walking Probes in Ethnographic Interviewing

    Open Access•Jason Patrick De Leon, J H Cohen•ARTICLE•CAM•2005•Cited by: 30•References: 3

    Probes and prompts are integral to successful interviews. Probes help motivate informants, facilitate the flow of an interview, and elicit information, but not necessarily in the form of a question. In this article, the authors describe a method they call the "material probe." Material probes are nonverbal and include objects and places that prompt and motivate informants. The goal is not to learn about the object or place but instead to learn ab…

    Leigh Binford, borrowing from Jones (1995a), suggests two major thematic positions in Mexican-US migration and development research: first, neoMarxist critiques and structural inquiries of the 1970s and 1980s; and second, 'apologetic' functional models of the 1980s and 1990s, which come to positive rather than negative conclusions concerning remittance outcomes. Neo-Marxists and structural models are represented in Binford's article by Mines (198…

Second, it highlights how important it is for us to share the challenges of fieldwork (and even the disasters that occur) with our students as we teach them the skills…

  • The Shan-Dany Museum

    J H Cohen•ARTICLE•Human Organization•2001

    The Shan-Dany Museum was founded by Mexico's National Institute for Anthropology and History (INAH) and the leaders of Santa Ana del Valle, Oaxaca, in 1986 and has grown to become a multigalleried cultural center for the community. While the museum has had successes, it is also the site of many conflicts. This paper examines the development of the Shan-Dany and its role in social, economic, and cultural disputes in Santa Ana and between the villa…

  • Transnational Migration in Rural Oaxaca, Mexico

    Open Access•J H Cohen, Jeffrey H Cohen Jeffrey H Cohen•ARTICLE•American Anthropologist•2001•Cited by: 51•References: 32

    Contradictory models of dependency and development have dominated the discussion of migration between Mexico and the United States. Transnational models of migration resolve these contradictions by defining a series of interdependencies (economy and society, for example). Using data collected in a rural Zapotec community in Oaxaca, Mexico, this article focuses on three areas: the stage-specific development of transnational movement; the domestic …

  • Local dynamics in multi‐local, transnational spaces of rural Mexico

    Open Access•Dennis Conway, J H Cohen•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2003•Cited by: 3•References: 18

    Mexico's proximity to the United States, the two economies' increased integration, and the demand for low‐cost labour in el norte , has fuelled a transnational circulation of people that is most probably self‐perpetuating and is certainly firmly embedded. This investigation of local dynamics in the multi‐local transnational spaces of Oaxacan households draws upon a comprehensive set of sample surveys conducted in 12 municipios in the central vall…

  • Understanding Transnational Processes

    Open Access•J H Cohen, Alicia Sylvia Gijón-Cruz et al.•ARTICLE•CAM•2003•Cited by: 3•References: 13

    This article reviews a systematic approach to the study of transnational migration in the central valleys of Oaxaca, Mexico. The authors argue that the investigation of transnational migration should be more than an exercise in labeling outcomes. They show that it is possible to model and score transnational outcomes for individual migrants and migrant households and understand variations in sending practices of local communities. They illustrate…

  • The Culture of Migration in Southern Mexico

    J H Cohen•BOOK•Culture of Migration in Southern…•2004

    Migration is a way of life for many individuals and even families in the Mexican state of Oaxaca. Some who leave their rural communities go only as far as the state capital, while others migrate to other parts of Mexico and to the United States. Most send money back to their communities, and many return to their homes after a few years. Migration offers Oaxacans economic opportunities that are not always available locally—but it also creates burd…
