Description
An urgent study on how punitive immigration policies undermine the
health of Latinx immigrantsOf the approximately 20 million noncitizens
currently living in the United States, nearly half are “undocumented,”
which means they are excluded from many public benefits, including
health care coverage. Additionally, many authorized immigrants are
barred from certain public benefits, including health benefits, for
their first five years in the United States. These exclusions often lead
many immigrants, particularly those who are Latinx, to avoid seeking
health care out of fear of deportation, detention, and other immigration
enforcement consequences. Medical Legal Violence tells the stories of
some of these immigrants and how anti-immigrant politics in the United
States increasingly undermine health care for Latinx noncitizens in ways
that deepen health inequalities while upholding economic exploitation
and white supremacy.Meredith Van Natta provides a first-hand account of
how such immigrants made life and death decisions with their doctors and
other clinic workers before and after the 2016 election. Drawing from
rich ethnographic observations and in-depth interviews in three states
during the Trump presidency, Van Natta demonstrates how anti-immigrant
laws are changing the way Latinx immigrants and their doctors weigh
illness and injury against patients’ personal and family security. The
book also evaluates the role of safety-net health care workers who have
helped noncitizen patients navigate this unstable political landscape
despite perceiving a rise in anti-immigrant surveillance in the health
care spaces where they work. As anti-immigrant rhetoric intensifies,
Medical Legal Violence sheds light on the real consequences of antiimmigrant
laws on the health of Latinx noncitizens, and how these laws
create a predictable humanitarian disaster in immigrant communities
throughout the country and beyond its borders. Van Natta asks how things
might be different if we begin to learn from this history rather than
continuously repeat it.
