Book excerpt: Culture, Conflict, and Justice: Managing Agricultural Relations Today weaves together a variety of readings from business, history, economics, sociology, psychology, and policy. The anthology addresses the complexity encountered in managing the largely invisible and anonymous immigrant workforce working and living in the United States today. The particular focus of many of the readings is the migrant and seasonal farm worker. Thus, the student seeking a career in agricultural management will develop an understanding of the critical human resource issues that need to be resolved (or rethought) in order to continue producing the abundance we all expect from American farms.The material was selected to provide more questions than answers, to lead to critical thinking and informed opinion rather than judgment, and to inspire action rather than acceptance. This anthology can be used as a standalone text. It can also be used with other resources to help the student recognize the evolution and complexity of management-labor relations, analyze the particular role of cultural differences and diversity in these relations, and examine the social and ethical implications of our immigration policies and labor laws.
