Laden with captivating detail of farmworkers' daily work and home lives, Horton examines how U.S. immigration policy and the historic exclusion of farmworkers from the promises of liberalism has made migrant farmworkers what she calls 'exceptional workers.' She explores the deeply intertwined political, legal, and social factors that place Latino migrants at particular risk of illness and injury in the fields, as well as the patchwork of health care, disability, and Social Security policies that provide them little succor when they become sick or grow old. The book takes an in-depth look at the work risks faced by migrants at all stages of life: as teens, in their middle-age, and ultimately as elderly workers. By following the lives of a core group of farmworkers over nearly a decade, Horton provides a searing portrait of how their precarious immigration and work statuses culminate in preventable morbidity and premature death"--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Migrant agricultural laborers $x Health and hygiene $z Central Valley. $z Central Valley. 650 0 $a Migrant agricultural laborers $z Central Valley $z Central Valley $x Social conditions. 650 12 $a Farmers. 650 22 $a Agricultural Workers' Diseases. 651 2 $a California. 650 7 $a Migrant agricultural laborers $x Health and hygiene. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01020692 650 7 $a Migrant agricultural laborers $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01020705 651 7 $a California $z Central Valley. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01227728 776 08 $i Online version: $a Horton, Sarah Bronwen. $t "They leave their kidneys in the fields". $d Oakland, California : University of California Press, [2016] $z 9780520962545 $w (DLC) 2015049983 830 0 $a California series in public anthropology ; $v 40. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190103015417.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20180426011458.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B2734346491811E8A2116E4897128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
