This six-part series on rural immigrant experiences draws from Thurka Sangaramoorthy’s research for her book Landscapes of Care: Immigration and Health in Rural America, which examines health care in rural immigrant communities on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. It explores the women who work in Maryland’s crab industry, how rural providers make do with “Band-Aid care,” racialized exclusion in health care access and how networks of resistance and mutual aid sustain immigrant communities.
