Review
|
The
author is a physician and anthropologist who lived and worked with Triqui
migrant farm workers from Oaxaca Mexico for 5 years, in both Mexico and the
US. The book covers financial and physical hardships experienced; dangers and
fear while border crossing, and the multiple layers of discrimination
(Spanish is not the Triqui peoples first language) encountered. Holmes
provides a warm incite into the Triqui people and explanations as to why it
is necessary for border crossings to continue. This book provides the reader
with a better appreciate for the people who provide so much of our food; a
must read for anyone who consumes fruits and vegetables.
