The women all have worked in the U.S. food industry in Arkansas, California, Florida, Iowa, New York or North Carolina. A few have now obtained legal status. The interviews took place from January through March of 2010. Researchers also interviewed a number of advocates who work with immigrant women and farmworkers. The interviews were conducted almost exclusively in Spanish, and recordings were transcribed and translated into English. The women were first asked questions from a standard survey and then, based on their answers, asked by a researcher to elaborate on their experiences. In most cases, the women quoted in this report are identified by their first name only, to protect their identities. In other cases, in which the subject did not want to be identified in any way, a fictional first name is used. Those names appear with an asterisk."-- Publisher description. 530 $a Also available online. 700 1 $a RamiÌrez, MoÌnica. 710 2 $a Southern Poverty Law Center. 941 $a 1 952 $l UXAX826 $d 20150507033017.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2322DF1CF47F11E4818816D1DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
