"In a nation where immigrants are considered undeserving of health care and there is no universal safety net even for citizens, what happens to impoverished, undocumented, and uninsured migrants? Based on novel ethnographic detective work, The Third Net exposes a shadow system that ties together a seemingly disorganized patchwork of organizations serving the migrants who fall through the cracks. An essential contribution to understanding the interconnected forces that maintain the unjust US structure of care." (Dorothy Roberts, author of Killing the Black Body: Race, Reproduction and the Meaning of Liberty) "The Third Net offers a rich empirical site and an analytical lens through which to grasp the injustices of a formal health system that is designed to neglect poor and legally vulnerable immigrants. It is original, eye-opening, illuminating, accessible, and an essential read. Highly recommended!" (Cecilia Menjívar, co-author of Immigrant Families) "The Third Net takes us on a rigorous deep dive into the world of a disconnected array of clinics and non-profits providing medical care to millions of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. who are excluded from formal medical insurance. This book prompted my admiration for all those who make daily efforts to provide medical care for the excluded, and anger at the deficiencies in the health care system of the richest nation in the world. A sobering read." (Pierrette Hondagneu-Sotelo, co-author of South Central Dreams: Finding Home and Building Community in South L.A.)
