The Dream Fields of Florida - Mexican Farmworkers and the Myth of Belonging

Informationen zum Autor By Ella Schmidt Klappentext Using ethnographic data from several immigrant farmworker communities in Florida, Schmidt unravels the embedded structural inequalities of U.S. society and the ideological discourses that mask them.
