At the same time, it points out the conflicts, resistances, and counter-acts that emerge through the IHP's attempts to guide the health behaviors and practices of Triqui and Mixteco migrants. Arguing for a structurally competent approach to migrant health, \u003ci\u003eEmbodied Politics\u003c\/i\u003e shows how efforts to promote indigenous health may actually reinforce the same social and political economic forces, namely structural racism and neoliberalism, that are undermining the health of indigenous Oaxacans in Mexico and the United States.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1 The Paradoxical Politics of Health Promotion\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2 Structural Violence, Migrant Activism, and Indigenous Health\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3 The \"Mexican Model\" of Health: Examining the Travels and Translations of Health Promotion\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4 Números, Números, Números: Making Health Programs \u003ci\u003eAccountable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5 Cultural Sensitivity Training and the Cultural Politics of Teaching Tolerance\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 6 La Lucha Sigue: Migrant Activism and the Ongoing Struggle to Promote Indigenous Health\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52563715424536,"sku":"9780813589497","price":23.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/embodied-politics-indigenous-migrant-activism-cultural-competency-and-health-promotion-in-california-paperback-softback-9780813589497","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
