Specificatii
I Am Not a Tractorcelebrates the courage, vision, and creativity of
the farmworkers and community leaders who have transformed one of
the worst agricultural situations in the United States into one of
the best. Susan L. Marquis highlights past abuses workers suffered
in Florida's tomato fields: toxic pesticide exposure, beatings,
sexual assault, rampant wage theft, and even, astonishingly,
modern-day slavery. Marquis unveils how, even without new
legislation, regulation, or government participation, these
farmworkers have dramatically improved their work conditions.
Marquis credits this success to the immigrants from Mexico, Haiti,
and Guatemala who formed the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, a
neuroscience major who takes great pride in the watermelon crew he
runs, a leading farmer/grower who was once homeless, and a retired
New York State judge who volunteered to stuff envelopes and ended
up building a groundbreaking institution. Through the Fair Food
Program that they have developed, fought for, and implemented,
these people have changed the lives of more than thirty thousand
field workers. I Am Not a Tractoroffers a range of solutions to a
problem that is rooted in our nation's slave history and that is
worsened by ongoing conflict over immigration.
