Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of Latino/a immigrant farmers as they transition from farmworkers to farm owners that offers a new perspective on racial inequity and sustainable farming. Although the majority of farms in the United States have US-born owners who identify as white, a growing number of new farmers are immigrants, many of them from Mexico, who originally came to the United States looking for work in agriculture. In The New American Farmer, Laura-Anne Minkoff-Zern explores the experiences of Latino/a immigrant farmers as they transition from farmworkers to farm owners, offering a new perspective on racial inequity and sustainable farming. She finds that many of these new farmers rely on farming practices from their home countries—including growing multiple crops simultaneously, using integrated pest management, maintaining small-scale production, and employing family labor—most of which are considered alternative farming techniques in the United States. Drawing on extensive interviews with farmers and organizers, Minkoff-Zern describes the social, economic, and political barriers immigrant farmers must overcome, from navigating USDA bureaucracy to racialized exclusion from opportunities. She discusses, among other topics, the history of discrimination against farm laborers in the United States; the invisibility of Latino/a farmers to government and universities; new farmers' sense of agrarian and racial identity; and the future of the agrarian class system. Minkoff-Zern argues that immigrant farmers, with their knowledge and experience of alternative farming practices, are—despite a range of challenges—actively and substantially contributing to the movement for an ecological and sustainable food system. Scholars and food activists should take notice.

This book was released on 2008-04 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: J. Hector St. John de Crevecoeur's (1735 - 1813) book Letters from an American Farmer was first published in London in 1782. Through a series of letters the author talks about an idealized free society in America. The author's farm Pine Hill is the setting for these letters, which depict a land damaged by civilization. In the third letter "What is an American" Crebecoeur gives his opinion on immigration and emigration with the motto "Ubi panis ibi patria" ("Where there is bread, there is (my) country"). These letters provide an interesting view of 18th century America and the attitudes of one important author of the era.
