Dvera I Saxton

The Devil's Fruit

Farmworkers, Health, and Environmental Justice

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Devil’s Fruit uses anthropology’s tool kit to examine farmworkers’ embodiment of toxic pesticides and social and workplace relationships in California’s agricultural industry. Rather than stopping at description and critique, Saxton explores how activist ethnographic methods and ethics align, conflict, and support ongoing struggles for farmworker health and environmental justice.
