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

Abstract

Fresh fruit, bodies withered: migrant farmworkers in the 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 farmworkes in the United States. Holmes' work was originally published in 2013 and is made up of seven chapters. In each of them, the brutality and racism experienced by indigenous farmworkers in the United States is revealed. The author also adds an appendix describing his methodology. An important fact to highlight is that the work begins with a prologue written by the professor and anthropologist Philippe Bourgois, an academic recognized for his ethnographic work in Central America.
