Abstract | Presented in English and Spanish, this publication compiles 13 presentations at a conference celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Cornell Migrant Program. The entries examine experiences of migrant workers and children related to immigrating, finding work, enduring discrimination and police harassment, switching schools frequently, suffering from lack of health care and poor working conditions, and organizing for justice; present research on union organizing among farmworkers, illegal immigration and agriculture's role in encouraging it, community formation among new immigrant Latinos in North Carolina, immigrant farmworkers and rural poverty, and farmworker settlement in rural communities and use of services (including education); and offer thoughts on the vision and future of the Cornell Migrant Program. The presentations are: "Migrant Child to Health Care Advocate" (Wilson Augustave); "My Everyday Struggle" (Theresa Dillon); "The Story of a Dairy Farmworker" (Jill McGee); "A Farmworker Who Fights for Justice" (Salvador Solis); "Local Challenges to Labor Organizing in Mexican Immigrant Enclaves: Kaolin Mushroom Workers Union in Southeastern Pennsylvania" (Victor Garcia); "Guestworker Programs and Illegal Immigration" (David Griffith); "Americans, Fresh Vegetables, and Farm Work" (Kathryn Grover); "Thoughts on the Past and Future of American Guestworker Programs" (Cindy Hahamovitch); "Immigration, Guest Workers, and Rural Poverty" (Philip Martin); "Rural Communities and the New Immigrants" (Pilar Parra, Max Pfeffer); "Why Not in the 22nd Century?" (Juan Marinez); "Our Vision Creates Our Future" (Kathy Castania); and "Our Roots Feed the Future of the Cornell Migrant Program" (Herbert J. Engman). (SV) |
