Abstract
ABSTRACT Much has been written about how structural (e.g. colonialism) and social (e.g. gender) determinants shape embodied health outcomes. However, little attention has been paid to the ways that marginalized populations become complicit in their own oppression. Ethnographic data collected over two years at a rural public hospital in Malawi show that the tobacco political economy produces significant intra-rural inequalities that result in the exclusion of migrant farm workers, called “tenants,” from HIV care. Using an analytical framework informed by Bourdieu’s concepts of social field and habitus, I illustrate how social inequalities persist unchallenged, even by the most disadvantaged people.
