| Zusammenfassung: | 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 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 society |

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 society SOCIAL SCIENCE / General bisacsh Childbirth United States Cross-cultural studies Prenatal care United States Women immigrants United States Social conditions Women Mexico Social conditions Schwangerschaft (DE-588)4053724-9 gnd rswk-swf Soziale Situation (DE-588)4077575-6 gnd rswk-swf Kulturvergleich (DE-588)4114328-0 gnd rswk-swf Pränatale Medizin (DE-588)4135016-9 gnd rswk-swf Mexikanische Einwanderin (DE-588)4674726-6 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Mexikanische Einwanderin (DE-588)4674726-6 s Soziale Situation (DE-588)4077575-6 s Schwangerschaft (DE-588)4053724-9 s Pränatale Medizin (DE-588)4135016-9 s Kulturvergleich (DE-588)4114328-0 s 1\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Hardcover 978-0-8135-5141-8 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Paperback 978-0-8135-5142-5 https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9780813552019 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
