Book Description
Growing climate variability, including increasingly frequent and severe heatwaves and warmer nights, increases the risk of heat-related illness (HRI), especially for outdoor and other climate-vulnerable workers. In 2006, following a spike in farm worker fatalities, California became the first state in the nation to pass an occupational heat safety law guaranteeing workers access to water. Using data from the National Agricultural Worker Study (NAWS), which includes survey responses from farm workers throughout the continental United States, I estimate a difference-in-differences model to assess the relationship between the implementation of the law and the provision of water to farm workers in California and in the surrounding region. I find only limited evidence of a relationship between California's HRI prevention law and the provision of water to farm workers.

The Devil's Fruit
Author: Dvera I. Saxton
Publisher: Rutgers University Press
ISBN: 081359863X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
The Devil's Fruit describes the facets of the strawberry industry as a harm industry, and explores author Dvera Saxton’s activist ethnographic work with farmworkers in response to health and environmental injustices. She argues that dealing with devilish—as in deadly, depressing, disabling, and toxic—problems requires intersecting ecosocial, emotional, ethnographic, and activist labors. Through her work as an activist medical anthropologist, she found the caring labors of engaged ethnography take on many forms that go in many different directions. Through chapters that examine farmworkers’ embodiment of toxic pesticides and social and workplace relationships, Saxton critically and reflexively describes and analyzes the ways that engaged and activist ethnographic methods, frameworks, and ethics aligned and conflicted, and in various ways helped support still ongoing struggles for farmworker health and environmental justice in California. These are problems shared by other agricultural communities in the U.S. and throughout the world.
