Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I Am Not a Tractor! celebrates the courage, vision, and creativity of the farmworkers and community leaders who have transformed one of the worst agricultural situations in the United States into one of the best. Susan L. Marquis highlights past abuses workers suffered in Florida’s tomato fields: toxic pesticide exposure, beatings, sexual assault, rampant wage theft, and even, astonishingly, modern-day slavery. Marquis unveils how, even without new legislation, regulation, or government participation, these farmworkers have dramatically improved their work conditions. Marquis credits this success to the immigrants from Mexico, Haiti, and Guatemala who formed the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, a neuroscience major who takes great pride in the watermelon crew he runs, a leading farmer/grower who was once homeless, and a retired New York State judge who volunteered to stuff envelopes and ended up building a groundbreaking institution. Through the Fair Food Program that they have developed, fought for, and implemented, these people have changed the lives of more than thirty thousand field workers. I Am Not a Tractor! offers a range of solutions to a problem that is rooted in our nation’s slave history and that is worsened by ongoing conflict over immigration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Gignoni tells the stories of farmworkers, mothers, priests, and plutocrats with compassion, poetry, and fierce humanity.” —Raj Patel, author of Stuffed and Starved Migrant farmworkers in the United States are routinely forced to live and work in unsafe, often desperate, conditions. In response, farmworkers in Immokalee, Florida—known as America’s tomato capital—formed the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW). Against powerful adversaries, the CIW went on to launch nationwide campaigns that have forced the corporate giants of the fast food world—McDonalds, Burger King, and Taco Bell—and grocery industries to concede to their demands for increased wages and just working conditions. As their struggle, and that of immigrants and low-wage workers everywhere, continues, Silvia Giagnoni presents their remarkable story. “Captures the brilliant, difficult, and sustained organizing work of immigrant activists against the megacorporations, such as Taco Bell, Chipotle, and Whole Foods, that profit from their labor. If there was ever any doubt that workers’ rights are human rights, this book will put the notion to rest.” —Vanessa Tait, author of Poor Workers’ Unions: Rebuilding Labor from Below “A sweet victory for social justice. A testament to the tenacity of the Coalition of Immokalee Workers.” —Katrina Vanden Heuvel, editor of the Nation “The Immokalee farmworkers’ heroic struggle for justice in the fields is an inspiring reminder of the value of hope and the power of solidarity.” —Tom Morello, guitarist, songwriter, and activist

Download or read book Latino Farmworkers in the Eastern United States written by Thomas A. Arcury and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-02-27 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They work at some of America’s most hazardous jobs, have few protections, and receive some of the lowest wages. Latino Farmworkers in the Eastern United States describes this understudied and underserved population. Taking a social justice stance, this volume examines the health and living conditions of workers in agriculture, while advocating for equality. Contributors cover all major areas of illness and injury (including occupational, environmental, infections, and pesticides), while also focusing on systemic social conditions, from lax industry regulations to lack of basic services—problems that are exacerbated by workers’ status as recent immigrants. Mental health burdens from the effects of discrimination to substance use, as well as the cumulative impact of workers’ separation from families are discussed for a comprehensive, meticulously documented resource. Written to serve both the seasoned professional and the newcomer, Latino Farmworkers in the Eastern United States is a bedrock source of information for those providing health and social services in the community, for researchers investigating health and safety disparities, and for advocates and policymakers working to correct them.
