Introduction
H uman R ights and H ealth
Health‐related inequity is a long‐standing concern in anthropology, yet anthropologists have only recently, and tentatively, begun approaching the issue through a human rights lens. Medical anthropologists, in particular, have found in human rights a provocative way of responding to health inequities, violations, and injustices. As interdisciplinary conversations about health and human rights have begun to flourish in recent decades, anthropologi…
Syndemic vulnerability and the right to health
Migration as a social determinant of health for irregular migrants
Lightning Rods in the Local Moral Economy
Localized debates about who unauthorized migrants are and what they do, or do not, deserve unfold in a culturally specific register that is deeply charged with emotion and moral valuation. Structuring such debates are vernacular discursive frames that emerge from, and reflect, a common “local moral economy.” Taking Israel as case study, this article examines six elements of the country's local moral economy – biopolitical logic, historical memory…
Plotting a Moral Trajectory, Sans Papiers
This essay peers into the swirling, tumultuous lifeworld of Marlene, an unauthorized Filipina migrant living in Israel, and her extraordinary capacity for self-preservation and creative sociality to consider several key questions. First, in empirical terms, how might the particular form of abjection Marlene confronts-migrant "illegality"-influence the texture and contour of her existential and moral reality? Second, how do migrants like Marlene, …
Cultural Competence in Action
Confronting a “Big Huge Gaping Wound”
How is health-related "deservingness" reckoned? Perspectives from unauthorized im/migrants in Tel Aviv
Migration, "illegality," and health
Introduction
In recent decades, human experience has become focus or frame for a wide variety of projects in psychological anthropology and beyond. Like "culture," which it arguably seeks to either qualify or displace, the concept of "experience" has generated its own interpretive literature, competing schools of analysis, and internal resistances. We propose that the anthropology of experience has achieved a degree of recognition and maturity that renders ge…
Take a Stand Commentary
Of the estimated 214 million people who have migrated from poorer to richer countries in search of a better life, between 20 and 30 million have migrated on an unauthorized, or “illegal,” basis. All have health needs, or will in the future, yet most are denied health care available to citizens and authorized residents. To many, unauthorized im/migrants’ exclusion intuitively “makes sense.” As scholars of health, social justice, and human rights, …
Do "Illegal" Im/migrants Have a Right to Health? Engaging Ethical Theory as Social Practice at a Tel Aviv Open Clinic
As the notion of a "right to health" gains influence, it is increasingly deployed in ways that are diverse, contextually variable, and at times logically inconsistent. Drawing on extended fieldwork at an Israeli human rights organization that advocates for "illegal" migrants and other vulnerable groups, this article contends that medical anthropologists cannot simply rally behind this right. Instead, we must take it as an object of ethnographic a…
L’hyperpolitique du « Plus jamais ça
Depuis le début de l’année 2007, près de 10 000 hommes, femmes et enfants africains – pour la plupart originaires du Darfour, du Sud Soudan et de l’Erythrée – ont traversé la longue et poreuse frontière égypto-israélienne, et ont demandé l’asile aux portes méridionales du territoire israélien. En Israël, ces arrivées ont fait l’objet d’une grande attention, d’importantes controverses et mobilisations, face auxquelles la réaction de l’Etat s’est c…
Exploring “Illegal” and “Irregular” Migrants' Lived Experiences of Law and State Power
"Toward a Critical Phenomenology of "Illegality
Given the vast scope and magnitude of the phenomenon of so-called "illegal" migration in the present historical moment, this article contends that phenomenologically engaged ethnography has a crucial role to play in sensitizing not only anthropologists, but also policymakers, politicians, and broader publics to the complicated, often anxiety-ridden and frightening realities associated with "the condition of migrant illegality," both of specific h…
Perspectives on labour migration in Israel
The Setting: Tel Aviv's Central Bus Station, "capital of the foreign workers" 1 Half a century after the establishment of the State of Israel, a stranger meandering through Tel Aviv's labyrinthian, seven-story Central Bus Station would be surprised to hear not just Hebrew, or even just Israel's recognized languages of Hebrew and Arabic, Russian and Amharic, but rather a global cacophony of languages: Tagalog and Romanian, Nigerian languages like …
