| contents | <p><span>This study investigated the impact of racialization on the health and well-being of Northeast Indian migrant workers in Delhi. Drawing on the framework of a sociological approach to social determinants of health, this research explores how experiences of othering based on Mongoloid features exacerbate existing health disparities for migrants who leave their resource-constrained region seeking educational and employment opportunities in the National Capital Territory Delhi. Through a multipronged approach utilizing both ethnographic data collected from four distinct occupational groups (call center workers, beauty sector workers, restaurant workers, and retail shopping workers) and existing research, this study sheds light on the othering processes faced by these migrants in various spheres of life, including workplaces, public spaces, and their Delhi residences. This analysis aims to illuminate how these workers negotiate their cultural identity within a context marked by racial and ethnic prejudice, ultimately demonstrating the complex interplay between economic opportunity and negative social determinants of health experienced by Northeast Indian migrants in Delhi.</span></p> |
