Description

Explore the complex realities of agricultural labor with The Force of Irony: Power in the Everyday Life of Mexican Tomato Workers. This award-winning study, winner of the 'Casa Chata Award' for the Best Book of 1994 (Spanish edition), provides a major rethinking of domination and the agricultural labor process. By examining the paradoxical effects of power and knowledge on subordinate people, the author offers a fresh perspective on how rural workers respond to transnational production systems. The text looks at the transformations of agrarian structures caused by the interactions of global and local forces. This book is an essential resource for those studying how global shifts affect local communities and the everyday lives of those working within the agricultural sector.
