As the narrative unfolds, their previously censored and suppressed research, together with personal accounts of intimidation and subterfuge, is introduced into the public arena for the first time. In the Struggle lays out historic, subterranean confrontations over water rights, labor organizing, and the corruption of democratic principles and public institutions. As California's rural economy increasingly consolidates into the hands of land barons and corporations, the scholars' work shifts from analyzing problems and formulating research methods to organizing resistance and building community power. The findings and the intense political pressure put upon the work of these scholars--Paul Taylor, Ernesto Galarza, and Isao Fujimoto among them--are a damning indictment of the greed and corruption that flourish under industrial-scale agriculture. After almost a century of empirical evidence and published research, a definitive finding becomes clear: land consolidation and economic monopoly are fundamentally detrimental to democracy and the well-being of rural societies."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Agricultural industries $z San Joaquin Valley. $z San Joaquin Valley. 650 0 $a Water rights $z San Joaquin Valley. $z San Joaquin Valley. 650 0 $a Labor unions $x Organizing $z San Joaquin Valley. $z San Joaquin Valley. 700 1 $a Peters, Scott J. $q (Scott Joseph), $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a O'Connell, Daniel, $t In the struggle. $b First edition $d New York : New Village Press, [2021] $z 9781613321249 $w (DLC) 2020051066 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230302014650.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FEE4D4883BA411EC87B0DC564EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
