Making the Mexican Diabetic: Race, Science, and the Genetics of Inequality Paperback - 2011
by Michael Montoya
From the rear cover
"Making the Mexican Diabetic presents a finely-honed ethnography. Montoya is particularly attuned to the sensitivity and conundrums surrounding the use of DNA drawn from a population at high risk of diabetes, and he makes a strong case for understanding the rational value behind this approach as well as its potential reinforcement of racial stereotypes. This is a unique and important book."- Rayna Rapp, author of Testing Women, Testing the Fetus: The Social Impact of Amniocentesis in America
"This is a fascinating, broad-ranging, and fair-minded ethnography. In the best tradition of science studies, Montoya takes the scientific research seriously on its own terms. Yet he always brings us back to the sociopolitical context, including the tremendous conditions of inequality that Mexican immigrants encounter in the United States." -Steven Epstein, Northwestern University
