This book provides a fine-grained ethnographic examination of the
everyday negotiations and conflicts taking place in greenhouses and
packinghouses in an agricultural district in south-eastern Italy
(Sicily). In a highly competitive global scenario, driven by
multinational corporations and large retailers, small and
medium-sized farms largely rely on migrant labour to fill their
demand for casualized, flexible and low-paid jobs. By taking the
reader into the 'plastic factories' where the author was hired as a
farmworker, this book sheds light on the struggles - around the
employment contract, the wage and the body - which take place every
day between employers and employees. The book contributes to
broadening the understanding of the dynamics innervating food
production worldwide by recognizing the pivotal role of migrant
labour not only as a factor in the restructuring of global supply
chains, but also as an actor shaping these processes through its
own unpredictable strategies.
