The Debt/Energy Nexus behind Puerto Rico’s Long Blackout
After Hurricane Maria wiped out Puerto Rico’s electrical grid in 2017, its citizens endured the longest blackout in U.S. history, some not regaining power until nearly a year later. An analysis of the profound social impacts and health costs and the delays in power restoration with a focus on the relationship between the U.S. territory’s debt crisis and its “fossil colonial” past offers insights into patterns of manipulation by politicians, banke…
Making Complexity Your Friend
This article uses the dilemma of climate change as an entry point to explore the utility of a complexity framework for a more comprehensive social science of environmental sustainability. A theory of complex adaptive systems (CAS) is especially appropriate for the Anthropocene, a newly proposed geological period defined around humanity’s impact on the biosphere. Aspects of complexity theory have been entering public consciousness through popular …

The role of corporate oil and energy debt in creating the neoliberal era
This article examines the relationship between the United States's rapid loss of energy sovereignty in the 1970s and the rise of speculative finance and neoliberal ideology that reshaped global trade relationships. Prevailing academic analysis of the neoliberal economy understates the tight relationship between the U.S. corporate state's influence over oil markets and persistent U.S. global hegemony since the 1973 energy crisis. During the Keynes…
The Illegal and the Dead
This article reflects on the production of injury and death among Latino workers in the agro-industrial food complex, with attention to systemic relationships between the United States and Mexico in the post-North American Free Trade Agreement period, which has been characterized by waves of new labor migration that directly enhanced US agricultural profitability. The article draws parallels between literatures on labor productivity and new writi…
Inventing a Public Anthropology With Latino Farm Labor Organizers in North Carolina
In this article, I summarize my experience conducting "an experiment in public anthropology" involving ethnographic fieldwork on a labor union struggle from the standpoint of volunteer work with community advocates for farm labor rights in North Carolina between 1998 and 2004. Theoretical rationales for participatory action research, issues of access, pros and cons from an information-gathering perspective, and ethical perspectives are discussed
Conceiving the Health Commons
In a perusal of literature on ‘the commons’, it is striking how rarely medicine and health services are mentioned as potential commons. Nor is the concept of the commons discussed in medical and health journals, where database searches turn up only the odd article using the term in a title or abstract. This essay evolved as an inquiry into what benefit might be gained from conceiving of a health commons

"When "The Program is Good, But the Disease is Better
This is a qualitative study of the politics of public health surrounding a resurgent tuberculosis epidemic in Lima, Peru during the 1990s. The paper traces the role of debt and neoliberal economics in creating conditions for the epidemic, and the reforms that turned Peru's TB program into a model for treating drug-susceptible disease by 1996. Despite this success, public health officials were blind-sided by the appearance of drug-resistant TB in …

Primary Health Care and its Unfulfilled Promise of Community Participation
Primary health care (PHC) as initially conceived required participation. This aspect was considered essential if beneficiaries of aid programs were to understand the causes of their health problems and become agents of their own development. Participatory development was designed to privilege equity and democratic process. Nevertheless, this concept has been notoriously difficult for most large-scale, national PHC programs to put into practice. T…
