Free Download Kathleen C. Schwartzman, "The Chicken Trail: Following Workers, Migrants, and Corporations across the Americas"
English | 2013 | ISBN: 080147809X | EPUB | pages: 224 | 0.9 mb
In The Chicken Trail, Kathleen C. Schwartzman examines the impact of globalization―and of NAFTA in particular―on the North American poultry industry, focusing on the displacement of African American workers in the southeast United States and workers in Mexico. Schwartzman documents how the transformation of U.S. poultry production in the 1980s increased its export capacity and changed the nature and consequences of labor conflict. She documents how globalization―and NAFTA in particular―forced Mexico to open its commodity and capital markets, and eliminate state support of corporations and rural smallholders. As a consequence, many Mexicans were forced to abandon their no longer sustainable small farms, with some seeking work in industrialized poultry factories north of the border.
