Sommario/riassunto |
|
'The Festival of March the Third' is the day of sacrifice to ancestors, gods, and saints in China. This book introduces the origin, development, dissemination, activities, and distinctive local features of this Chinese festival. Different from 'The Tomb-Sweeping Day,' 'The Festival of March the Third' has religious implications for worshipping Buddhism and Taoism, warding off evil spirits, and purifying the mind. The book - written in an English-Chinese bilingual text - not only introduces the history and development of the festival, but also presents many touching folk tales and heroic legend |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Utilizing a model derived from literature on environmental justice overlaid with multiple scales of agriculture, Environmental Justice and Farm Labor provides key insights about laborers in agriculture in the United States. It addresses three main topics: (1) justice-related issues facing farmers and laborers on farms; (2) how history and policy have impacted them; and (3) the opportunities and leverage points for change in improving justice outcomes. It explores who labors in US agriculture and the justice-related issues facing these workers, including occupational injury and illness, lack of access to healthcare, substandard housing, hunger, low wages, issues pertaining to immigration, and the inability to organize. In addition, it assesses the impacts of labor safety, immigration and international policy, and in |

particular the effects of organic and fair trade certification. Two detailed case studies, one based on conventional agriculture in Florida and the other on organic agriculture in the Northeast, highlight the interrelated but unique challenges facing those who labor in the different sectors of this complex agricultural system. Finally, it touches on justice claims and the role of grassroots activism in improving justice outcomes by highlighting organizations operating at multiple scales to contribute to the livelihood of farmers and laborers in the different areas of agriculture. |
