According to the Latina health paradox, Mexican immigrant women
have less complicated pregnancies and more favorable birth outcomes
than many other groups, in spite of socioeconomic disadvantage.
Alyshia Galvez provides an ethnographic examination of this
paradox. What are the ways that Mexican immigrant women care for
themselves during their pregnancies? How do they decide to leave
behind some of the practices they bring with them on their pathways
of migration in favor of biomedical approaches to pregnancy and
childbirth? This book takes us from inside the halls of a busy
metropolitan hospital's public prenatal clinic and to the Oaxaca
and Puebla states in Mexico to look at the ways Mexican women
manage their pregnancies. The mystery of the paradox lies perhaps
not in the recipes Mexican-born women have for good perinatal
health, but in the prenatal encounter in the United States. Patient
Citizens, Immigrant Mothers is a migration story and a look at the
ways that immigrants are received by our medical institutions and
by our society.
