Abstract Details

2015, Bachelor of Arts, Wittenberg University, Sociology.
Although immigrating typically to improve their living situation and despite the boast of the American dream, Latino immigrants often experience various difficulties following their adjustment into the American culture. This research, completed through interviews with Latino immigrants, is aimed at determining the various barriers these individuals face in regards to accessing American health care and is applied to the theoretical work of Pierre Bourdieu, specifically to his ideas in reference to capital and habitus. The respondents remarked various experiences in the United States in correlation to different levels of discrimination, concluding that safety net services and American perceptions of Latinos can impede their access to quality health care; a pressing concern Americans should have for our Latino neighbors.
