Alyshia Gálvez 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 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 societyCritical issues in health and medicine.WomenMexicoSocial conditionsWomen immigrantsUnited StatesSocial conditionsPrenatal careUnited StatesChildbirthUnited StatesCross-cultural studiesWomenSocial conditions.Women immigrantsSocial conditions.Prenatal careChildbirth306.874/30896872073Gálvez Alyshia1549927MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778929403321Patient citizens, immigrant mothers3808360UNINA
