Abstract

Abstract The El viaje más caro (The Most Costly Journey) project, a collaborative ethnographic public health effort that employed comics as resources for mental health outreach among Latin American migrant farm workers in Vermont, has served as a model for similar efforts. This essay contextualizes two such projects that are described in subsequent contributions to this special issue.
