Toward an anthropology that cares
Anthropologists' cross-cultural studies of kinship, gender, and caregiving have shown how care is fundamental to the human experience. Ironically, anthropologists have been relatively silent about the caregiving we ourselves do. To understand these experiences, we conducted an online survey (N = 492), seven focus groups (N = 31), and seven in-depth interviews of anthropologists in various career stages. We use the term "academic carework" both to…
Rhetoric and Reality on the U.S.—Mexico Border
How We Tell the Stories We Tell
Media, place-making, and concept-metaphors
In this article, we trace shifting representations of a US-Mexico border region in national mainstream news media during the rise of Donald Trump. We argue that the border is an American concept-metaphor that circulates and reshapes in media in response to political actors. We compare articles published in 2015, 2016, and 2017 about the Texas borderlands where the majority of Central American asylum seekers arrived. Crucial to Trump’s success, th…
‘Living Other Lives’
In this article, we discuss the impact of a participatory theatre arts programme on the social, emotional and psychological well-being of older adults in San Antonio, Texas. Using a participatory, collaborative approach, we designed an outcomes evaluation for an eight-week Senior Theatre programme sponsored by The Playhouse San Antonio. Pre/post surveys, focal interviews, and participant observation were used to document participant perceptions o…
How Caregiving Impacts Anthropology Careers
The Latina Birth Weight Paradox
Stress, Pregnancy, and Motherhood
We argue that changes over time in how ideas of stress are incorporated into understandings of pregnancy and motherhood among Mexican immigrant women living in the United States may affect the documented increase of low birth weight infants born to those women. Stress has consistently been linked to low birth weight, and pregnant Mexican American and Mexican immigrant women differ in levels of perceived social stress. What is lacking is an explan…
Mexican Migration to the United States
Why is Mexican emigration different from the previous ones? This is the question posed by Professor Huntington in his polemic article. According to the author the real question is not this, but the way the developed world (including our closest environment, the European Union) should react to its own modified demographic conditions, taking into consideration the present global conditions. Special attention has been dedicated to the analysis of th…
Subjective Social Status, Mental and Psychosocial Health, and Birth Weight Differences in Mexican–American and Mexican Immigrant Women
Reproductive habitus, psychosocial health, and birth weight variation in Mexican immigrant and Mexican American women in south Texas
Acrylic Rx
Objective: The purpose of this arts program evaluation was to understand the impact of a professionally taught painting class on the health and well-being of fixed-income senior participants in San Antonio, Texas. Method: Data were obtained over a 14-month period through formal surveys, semi-structured and spontaneous interviews, and participant observation. Results: Meanings of art, aging, and health coevolved during the classroom experience to …
Health Care among the Kumiai Indians of Baja California, Mexico
In this article, I document the illness and health care problems facing indigenous communities in Baja California, Mexico, by using ethnographic data from research I conducted from 1999 to 2001 with rural, indigenous Kumiai and with their primary health care providers in urban Ensenada. I contend that barriers to care are structural and social, rather than constituted of competing ideas of illness causation and treatment. A history of multiple me…
La Tecnología y Las Monjitas
In this article, I contrast conceptualizations of authoritative knowledge in pregnancy and birth between U.S. midwives and their Mexican immigrant clients at a religious birthing center in south Texas. Although the two groups share certain orientations to pregnancy management, essential differences in prenatal care and birth epistemologies underscore distinct social and economic positions. I use narrative data to document and explain these differ…
Problems in the Latina paradox
Women who have immigrated to the United States from Mexico have better than expected birth outcomes. Part of this apparent health 'paradox' has been explained by high levels of social support which are thought to offset known risk factors for low birth weight. Yet common measures of social support during pregnancy suffer from presumptions of cultural homogeneity and a-priori definitions of meaningful social support. Analysis of qualitative data f…
Articulating Distress on Multiple Levels
Illness among disenfranchised indigenous communities in Mexico reflects not only disease but also structural relations of power based on ethnicity, gender, and economic status. As such, physiological explanations of illness alone are not sufficient to understand and address suffering caused by common illnesses. Among the Kumiai Indians of one rural community in Baja California, one of the most commonly reported health problems is presión baja (lo…
