    Explore The Undocumented Americans as a “story about illness and healing in

    migrant communities through the lens of women—caretakers and rebels” (62).


    How do the women featured in the book fulfill these two roles? In what ways are
    they rebellious? What are “the pressing issues” around healthcare for
    undocumented Americans and how do the women in the book cope with these
    issues (67)? How does the healthcare system fail and endanger undocumented
    Americans and what role do alternative medicine and ceremony play in their
    lives? How else do they seek healing? Do the people Cornejo Villavicencio writes
    about ever seem to experience catharsis or healing? Why is this significant?
