Book Colonial Migrants at the Heart of Empire

Download or read book Colonial Migrants at the Heart of Empire written by Ismael García-Colón and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2020-02-18 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colonial Migrants at the Heart of Empire is the first in-depth look at the experiences of Puerto Rican migrant workers in continental U.S. agriculture in the twentieth century. The Farm Labor Program, established by the government of Puerto Rico in 1947, placed hundreds of thousands of migrant workers on U.S. farms and fostered the emergence of many stateside Puerto Rican communities. Ismael García-Colón investigates the origins and development of this program and uncovers the unique challenges faced by its participants. A labor history and an ethnography, Colonial Migrants evokes the violence, fieldwork, food, lodging, surveillance, and coercion that these workers experienced on farms and conveys their hopes and struggles to overcome poverty. Island farmworkers encountered a unique form of prejudice and racism arising from their dual status as both U.S. citizens and as “foreign others,” and their experiences were further shaped by evolving immigration policies. Despite these challenges, many Puerto Rican farmworkers ultimately chose to settle in rural U.S. communities, contributing to the production of food and the Latinization of the U.S. farm labor force.

Book Labor and the Locavore

Download or read book Labor and the Locavore written by Margaret Gray and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2013-10-25 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the blizzard of attention around the virtues of local food production, food writers and activists place environmental protection, animal welfare, and saving small farms at the forefront of their attention. Yet amid this turn to wholesome and responsible food choices, the lives and working conditions of farmworkers are often an afterthought. Labor and the Locavore focuses on one of the most vibrant local food economies in the country, the Hudson Valley that supplies New York restaurants and farmers markets. Based on more than a decade’s in-depth interviews with workers, farmers, and others, Gray’s examination clearly shows how the currency of agrarian values serves to mask the labor concerns of an already hidden workforce. She also explores the historical roots of farmworkers’ predicaments and examines the ethnic shift from Black to Latino workers. With an analysis that can be applied to local food concerns around the country, this book challenges the reader to consider how the mentality of the alternative food movements implies a comprehensive food ethic that addresses workers’ concerns.

Book The Routledge Handbook of the Anthropology of Labor

Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of the Anthropology of Labor written by Sharryn Kasmir and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-06-01 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of the Anthropology of Labor offers a cross-cultural examination of labor around the world and presents the breadth of a growing and vital subfield of anthropology. As we enter a new crisis-ridden age, some laboring people are protected, while others face impoverishment and death, as they work in unsafe conditions, migrate to gain livelihoods, languish in the unwaged sector, and become targets of law enforcement. The contributions to this volume address questions surrounding the categorization and visibility of work, the relationship of labor to the state, and how divisions of labor map onto racial, gendered, sexual, and national inequalities. In addition to the emotional dimensions and subjectivities of labor, the book also examines how laborers can articulate common experiences and identities, build organizational forms, and claim power together. Bringing together the work of an impressive group of international scholars, this Handbook is essential for anthropologists with an interest in labor and political economy, as well as useful for scholars and students in related fields such as sociology and geography.

Book Latinos and Politics

Download or read book Latinos and Politics written by and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bibliography is the first comprehensive listing of works on Latino politics, a subject that is rapidly growing in importance as the influence of Latinos in the United States steadily increases. In contrast to other existing bibliographies, this one encompasses all three major U.S. Latino groups: Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, and Cuban Americans. The focus within the general arena of Latino politics is on political values, attitudes, mobilization, and leadership, and on public-policy issues. With more than 700 entries from a wide range of disciplines, Latinos and Politics includes virtually every empirically based research piece written on these subjects since 1965, and many significant works of more general interest. The book is divided into four sections : journal articles; books; dissertations; and government publications. All article and dissertation entries are accompanied by abstracts, as are many of the entries in the fourth section. In addition, author and subject indexes help make the bibliography more accessible.--From jacket flap
