Scratching Out a Living by Angela Stuesse

How has Latino immigration transformed the South? In what ways is the presence of these newcomers complicating efforts to organize for workplace justice? This is a portrait of neoliberal globalization and calls for organizing strategies that bring diverse working communities together in mutual construction of a more just future.

Scratching Out a Living is a model of engaged scholarshipIn this timely, beautifully-written, and deeply researched activism-based ethnography about the poultry industry in the American South, Stuesse demonstrates how workers are exploited and divided on the basis of racial and ethnic identities within the context of neoliberal globalization. Without underestimating the difficulties, her research reveals that the basis for inter-racial working class solidarity among African Americans and Latinos does indeed exist in the newest 'new' South. -Judges' Comments, 2017 C.L.R.
