About Book
Rachel A. Rosenfeld, American Journal of Sociology
"An enlightening analysis of how workers end up in the situations they do. He has both breadth and depth of evidence and presents it very readably."
Howard Newby, Journal of the British Sociological Association
"The most accomplished empirical study yet to have emerged from the 'sociology of agriculture' in the United States."
Book Description
Why do farm workers earn less and have a lower status than blue-collar employees in comparable jobs? Robert J. Thomas answers this question through a multi-method study of agricultural work and labor markets. Fieldwork as a lettuce harvester provides valuable insights from the perspective of undocumented immigrants. This is a compelling analysis of how the vulnerability of non-citizens and women workers augments managerial control.
