Seth Holmes’ “Fresh Fruit, broken bodies”, is an eye-opening yet sad book that explores the complex and multidimensional issues that migrant workers face as they try to survive and make a better life for themselves and for their families. Additionally, the book does an exceptional job of explaining how systemic institutionalized racism affects the migrant workers ability to live long, happy, healthy and successful lives. Most alarmingly, Holmes includes several examples of how health care professionals implicit and explicit bias against the migrants affects the medical care that they receive when they go to the clinic or hospital for treatment.
