Oxnard’s Strawberries, Bowling Green, OH (2014).<\/p><\/div>\n

I came across Oxnard’s strawberries a couple of weeks ago in Ohio. I was not\u00a0surprised, but it’s connected to my lectures\u00a0in my “Race and Labor in the United States” class. I had my students reading,\u00a0Fresh Fruit, Broken Bodies: Migrant Farmworkers in the United States<\/a>, which focused on the\u00a0structural violence toward farmworkers, especially indigenous Mexican migrants. Hopefully, my students took away the following points from the book:<\/p>\n

\u201cThey [migrants] dedicate everything to the fields in the United States, their labor and skills, their energy and time, and their identities and reputations, as well as their minds and bodies.\u201d (30)<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAmerican society gains much from migrant laborers and give little back beyond criminalization, stress, and injury.\u201d (197)<\/em><\/p>\n
