- This study has been conducted over a period of 15 years. It combines ethnography and political economy to analyze the labouring conditions of farm-workers within the US-Mexico food-chain. Research methods include 26 in-depth, face-to-face interviews in both English and Spanish with the workers and the union organisers across the United States and Mexico, where I had an opportunity to spend several days at the workers’ houses. The analysis of 441 grievances – ten thousand pages of documents which chronicle the problems workers encounter in the fields. A political economy perspective to assess the impact of big retail chains in agriculture.
