It takes you through personal stories while discussing the complexities of being an immigrant in this country and how that relates to giving birth to american citizens.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Worth the read, but could have taken the extra step into its subjects lives.By Dastardly_DiegoThis book follows the lives of pregnant Mexican immigrants as they seek healthcare in New York. Its well written and authoritative, however there is a measure of almost clinical distance between the writer and her subjects that makes this less of an ethnography and more of a sociological study.
