Author: Anna Waldstein
Date Published: 2008
This paper talks about diaspora and migration, and questions if the health of Mexicans deteriorates as they become more acclimated to American culture. Their case study concludes that migration and diaspora need not always lead to disease, and that increased access to professional medical care may not improve the health of migrants if it comes with the loss of traditional medical knowledge.
