Calling themselves the \"slaves of the twenty-first century,\" these mostly Indigenous men, women, and children rose up in defiance of the conditions of modern slavery, forced labor, sexual harassment, and \"hunger wages.\" This ethnography provides an in-depth look into how Indigenous farmworkers organize in the fields and their communities to improve wages and working conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince the strike, the farmworkers have organized a union to fight for justice in the fields. In this work, author James Daria accompanies these farmworkers as they struggle for dignity. Daria also charts the tensions inside the farmworker movement as women struggle to gain greater power in the home as well as at work. In an era of complex global integration, Daria shows us how what we eat is tied to the suffering of those who produce our food. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book highlights and centers the Indigenous workers who struggle for justice in a global food system that connects us all. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Daria\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816557349\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816557349\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Arizona Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"James Daria","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48520310653183,"sku":"9780816557349","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_695cef59-a188-4bf5-b42d-449416dccce8.jpg?v=1778741996","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ahuelga-james-daria-9780816557349","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
