“…As Obama's immigrant removal record is the highest in presidential history, such immigration law enforcement resulted in racial profiling and the over-criminalization of Latinx men. The anxiety of living under vigilance, the stigmatization of being an immigrant, the separation of families, and the experience of arrest, detention, and deportation became salient stressors affecting health (APA, 2018). In fact, immigrants live in communities profiled by immigration enforcement, and the stress-related spillover effects of immigration raids affect birth outcomes among Latinx mothers (Novak, Geronimus, & Martinez-Cardoso, 2017).…”

We propose the politics hypothesis—i.e., the hypothesis that political forces comprise either a powerful predecessor of the social determinants of health or are essential social determinants of health themselves. We examine the hypothesis that political actors like presidents, their ideology, and institutions like the political parties they represent shape overall and race-specific health outcomes. Using census and Vital Statistics data among many other sources, we apply both theory- and data-driven statistical methods to assess the role of the president's party and the president's political ideology as predictors of overall and race-specific infant mortality in the United States, 1965–2010. We find that, net of trend, Republican presidencies and socially-conservative ideology of U.S. presidents are strongly associated with slower declines of infant mortality rates, overall and for white and black infants, compared to Democratic and socially-liberal presidents in the U.S. Approximately half (46%) of the white-black infant mortality gap, about 20,000 additional infant deaths, and most if not all the infant mortality rate gap between the U.S. and the rest of the developed world, can be attributed to the 28 years of Republican administrations during the study period. These findings are consistent with the politicization of public health and the conceptualization of politics as a powerful predecessor, in the causal chain, of the social determinants of health. Understanding the political ideological and institutional contexts in which health policies and healthcare and welfare programs are implemented, as well as how governments construct culture and social psychology, provide a more comprehensive framework for understanding and improving population patterns of disease, mortality, and entrenched racial disparities in health in the U.S.

“…Through social action and viewing their experiences collectively, Latinx children began a pattern of healing, social change, and challenging hegemony (Acido et al, 2017; Chavez-Dueñas et al, 2019; Fals-Borda, 2001; Ginwright, 2015). This is especially needed when many Latinx children in the U.S. are experiencing collective trauma from witnessing deportations (Society for Community Research and Action, 2018), being in detention centers (Cheatham, 2020), and/or being dehumanized (Casanova & Cammarota, 2019). Lastly, considering Latinx children’s possible distrust in adults, a YPAR context that aims to share power, connect them to collectivity, and invoke their historical memory can facilitate healing these relationships.…”

“…For example, Latinx youth of immigrants experienced elevated stress during the 2016 election (Zeiders et al, 2020). Furthermore, deportation and detention rates have expansive negative psychosocial impacts (Society for Community Research Action, 2018). For example, immigrant children can demonstrate withdrawal, feel isolated, and distrust adults and systems after an ICE raid in their community (Adames &, Chavez-Dueñas, 2017).…”

Objectives: We assessed if using a biographical method, social biography, alongside photovoice, and the Five Whys could facilitate critical dialogue in a youth participatory action research (YPAR) context. Method: In a YPAR program, we added social biography to photovoice and the Five Whys during the problem definition phase. We coded ethnographic fieldnotes to examine the quality of critical discourse. Participants were six 10–11 year old Latinx children, some from mixed-status families. Results: Social biography enlivened critical dialogue when children defined the problem for their project: the accountability of la migra, or Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Conclusions: Social biography is a valuable tool for democratizing knowledge production with children through a liberatory framework.

“…Brabeck et al (2015) discuss the complex task of defining and understanding the dimensions of risks and the tension between the researchers’ efforts to respond to injustices while recognizing one’s power and the immigrant’s sense of autonomy (p. 21) as critical ethical challenges in CBPR. Vulnerable populations, like undocumented immigrants, often live in a constant state of fear and are extremely careful about disclosing personal information (Brabeck et al, 2015; Campbell-Page & Shaw-Ridley, 2013; Langhout et al, 2018), thus developing a trustful relationship is an utmost priority.…”

Participatory approaches offer methodologies for researchers to work in partnership with communities, to foster equity and empowerment, and to act toward social justice. Given the inherent power imbalances between researchers and community participants, and the unique vulnerabilities and strengths of immigrant communities, the question of best practices, in how to co-create research inquiry, knowledge production, and ethical practice demands deep, and on-going reflection. In the current article, two case studies illustrate ethical dilemmas that arose in the context of engaging in participatory research with immigrant communities. The dilemmas highlight issues of power, autonomy, benefit, visibility, and voice for community participants and partners. The ethical quandaries call for a shift from traditional paradigms that do not adequately fulfill the needs, perspectives, and preferences of immigrants and communities of color. The cases inform broader questions of ongoing transformation and progress in the field to address structural racism, and demand that research aims go beyond knowledge acquisition and objective distance, to connection, partnership, and mutual benefit. Future scholarship should continue to derive and develop guidelines from ethical challenges in research with immigrants, and Black, indigenous, and communities of color, which highlight gaps and fissures in the current ethical code, and need to be addressed.
