Description
The Devil's Fruit Farmworkers, Health, and Environmental Justice by Dvera I. Saxton explores the darker side of the strawberry industry, revealing the harm inflicted on farmworkers through toxic pesticides and poor working conditions. Through her activist ethnographic work, Saxton sheds light on the struggles for health and environmental justice faced by these workers. Saxton's approach combines ecosocial, emotional, ethnographic, and activist labors to critically examine the intersections of farmworkers' embodied experiences with social and workplace relationships. This nuanced analysis highlights the ways in which engaged and activist ethnographic methods can support ongoing struggles for change. By examining the California strawberry industry, Saxton's work provides valuable insights into the broader issues affecting agricultural communities worldwide.
