Embodied Politics reconstructs how this initiative came to exist and describes how it operates. 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, Embodied Politics 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 Analysis public health, health, healthcare, indigenous, indigenous migrant, migrant, migrant communities, indigenous communities, Indigenous Health Project IHP, Indigenous Health Project, IHP, cultural studies, linguistics, language, health initiative, initiative, health workshop, health messages, social programs, vulnerable, vulnerability, vulnerable populations, vulnerable communities, Oaxacan, California, conflict, resistance, counteract, health practice, Health Behaviors, Triqui, Mixteco, migrant health, economic, health promotion, racism, neoliberalism, neoliberal reforms, Mexico, United States, structural violence, migrant activism, activism, Mexican, tolerance, teaching tolerance, cultural sensitivity, cultural sensitivity training, sensitivity training, La Lucha Sigue Notes Description based upon print version of record Subject Health promotion -- California Indigenous peoples -- Health and hygiene -- California Indigenous peoples -- Medical care -- California Immigrants -- Health and hygiene -- California Immigrants -- Medical care -- California Public health -- California Health promotion.
