[Linganth] compiled suggestions on language, health, and migration

Thu Feb 28 20:05:22 UTC 2019

Hi All,
I’d like to humbly add my article with Heide Castañeda in Medical Anthropology that came out this month. We look at how K-12 school employees (Migrant Advocates) facilitate healthcare access for Migrant families. However, due to beliefs that indigenous Mexican languages are Spanish, there can often be difficulty communicating with indigenous parents and enabling them to have the same access to healthcare brokerage that other Spanish speakers are afforded (see especially pages 9-10). Please contact me if you’d like me to send you a copy of the article. Its title and DOI is below:

Subject: [Linganth] compiled suggestions on language, health, and migration

Dear colleagues -

With many thanks to everyone who sent me suggestions, I am pasting below the compiled list of readings for undergraduates on the intersection of language, health, and migration. (Readings are listed simply in the order they were suggested).

4) Faulstich Orellana's stuff on child brokers includes medical interviews and material about policy.  Good stuff for class discussion, esp. if you have second generation immigrants in your group:

5) Seth Holmes' "Fresh Fruit Broken Bodies" chapter 5 is pretty terrific, although I recommend squeezing in the whole book, if you can.
