An important contribution to our understanding of agricultural labor relations.Labor Studies Journal, An important contribution to our understanding of agricultural labor relations. Labor Studies Journal, [Hahamovitch] accomplishes a rare synthesis that skillfully weaves together the strands of agricultural history, immigration history, labor history, southern history, and history of the state. . . . Historians of all these specialties will be pushed into the interrelated corners of their fields and should be inspired to ask some creative new questions. -- Agricultural History, Brings together excellent historiography of the understudied East Coast migrant stream.Industrial and Labor Relations Review, [This book] fills an important gap. . . . [Hahamovitch] has thoroughly mined manuscript and oral history collections, contemporary newspapers, and government archives to develop a readable, chronological narrative. . . . [This book] breaks important ground in understanding rural class relations and the role of the federal government in shaping the face of modern agriculture. -- Journal of Southern History, [This book] charts a course toward a new and robust synthesis of rural, labor, and policy history. -- Journal of Interdisciplinary History, Finely crafted . . . Details how changing agricultural markets and production practices combined with labour distribution efforts of private, government, and union agencies to create a permanent migratory labour force deprived of power and mired in poverty. -- Labour, [B]reaks important ground in understanding rural class relations and the role of the federal government.Journal of Southern History, Brings together excellent historiography of the understudied East Coast migrant stream. Industrial and Labor Relations Review, Cindy Hahamovitch has put together a masterful history of the relationship between Atlantic Coast farmworkers, the growers for whom they labored, and the state. This study is valuable not only for its synthesis of extensive primary source material, but also for its lessons regarding the relationship between capital and the state. -- Labor History, An important contribution to our understanding of agricultural labor relations and, more generally, is important in its observations about the weighted actions of allegedly neutral government programs. -- Labor Studies Journal, Hahamovitch's engaging prose and tight conceptualization carry us across virtually uncharted terrain. The Fruits of Their Labor perceptively maps that territory, penetrating the nexus connecting reformers, the state, the technology and economics of truck farming, and the lives of migrant workers on the East Coast. -- James Grossman, The Newberry Library, [S]killfully weaves together the strands of agricultural history, immigration history, labor history, southern history, and history of the state. Agricultural History, [B]reaks important ground in understanding rural class relations and the role of the federal government. Journal of Southern History, Brings together excellent historiography of the understudied East Coast migrant stream. . . . This excellent historical analysis is particularly timely. -- Industrial and Labor Relations Review, [Hahamovitch] tells a powerful story of how the actions of the state affect people's day-to-day lives. In doing so, she puts the state back into history and produces a book that is a crucial work for anyone interested in American political history and the development of the twentieth-century nation-state. -- Florida Historical Quarterly, [A] well-crafted, deeply-researched, clearly-written, comprehensive narrative-analytical history. -- Journal of Southwest Georgia History, [S]killfully weaves together the strands of agricultural history, immigration history, labor history, southern history, and history of the state.Agricultural History

Synopsis
In 1933 Congress granted American laborers the right of collective bargaining, but farmworkers got no New Deal. Cindy Hahamovitch's pathbreaking account of migrant farmworkers along the Atlantic Coast shows how growers enlisted the aid of the state in an unprecedented effort to keep their fields well stocked with labor.This is the story of the farmworkers -- Italian immigrants from northeastern tenements, African American laborers from the South, and imported workers from the Caribbean -- who came to work in the fields of New Jersey, Georgia, and Florida in the decades after 1870. These farmworkers were not powerless, the author argues, for growers became increasingly open to negotiation as their crops ripened in the fields. But farmers fought back with padrone or labor contracting schemes and 'work-or-fight' forced-labor campaigns. Hahamovitch describes how growers' efforts became more effective as federal officials assumed the role of padroni, supplying farmers with foreign workers on demand.Today's migrants are as desperate as ever, the author concludes, not because poverty is an inevitable feature of modern agricultural work, but because the federal government has intervened on behalf of growers, preventing farmworkers from enjoying the fruits of their labor., In 1933 Congress granted American laborers the right of collective bargaining, but farmworkers got no New Deal.

- o***a (27)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufOrdering the true 1st edition of this book proved to be an ordeal. It took me four goes to finally land one! It seems for this specific book the automated form filling software used by many sellers puts forward the multiple reprints between 1999 and 2001 as 1st editions. Thankfully this seller provided detailed photos, so I could order in confidence. The book arrived on the 1st day of the delivery window and was very securely boxed up. A happy customer.
