Fresh fruit, withered bodies. Migrant farm workers in the United States, by Seth Holmes.

Abstract

Fresh fruit, shriveled bodies: Migrant farmworkers in United States, is the Spanish translation of the first ethnographic work by anthropologist Seth Holmes, titled in its original language as Fresh fruit, broken bodies: migrant farmworks in the United States. The Holmes' work was originally published in 2013 and is composed for seven chapters. In each of them, the brutality and racism experienced by indigenous farmworkers in the USA. The author also adds an appendix in which he describes its methodology. An important fact to highlight is that the work begins with a foreword written by professor and anthropologist Philippe Bourgois, scholar recognized for his ethnographic work in Central America.
