These temporary labor recruitment systems represented a state-brokered compromise between employers who wanted foreign workers and those who feared rising numbers of immigrants. Unlike immigrants, guestworkers couldn't settle, bring their families, or become citizens, and they had few rights. Indeed, instead of creating a manageable form of migration, guestworker programs created an especially vulnerable class of labor. Based on a vast array of sources from U.S., Jamaican, and English archives, as well as interviews, No Man's Land tells the history of the American "H2" program, the world's second oldest guestworker program. Since World War II, the H2 program has brought hundreds of thousands of mostly Jamaican men to the United States to do some of the nation's dirtiest and most dangerous farmwork for some of its biggest and most powerful agricultural corporations, companies that had the power to import and deport workers from abroad. Jamaican guestworkers occupied a no man's land between nations, protected neither by their home government nor by the United States. The workers complained, went on strike, and sued their employers in class action lawsuits, but their protests had little impact because they could be repatriated and replaced in a matter of hours. No Man's Land puts Jamaican guestworkers' experiences in the context of the global history of this fast-growing and perilous form of labor migration.Politics and society in twentieth-century America.Foreign workersUnited StatesForeign workersNoncitizensDeportationJamaicaEmigration and immigrationElectronic books.1960s.1970s.1980s.Bahamian workers.Caribbean guestworker programs.Caribbean guestworkers.Cuban Revolution.Emergency Farm Labor Importation Program.Florida Rural Legal Services.Florida.Great Depression.H2 program.IRCA.Immigration Reform and Control Act.Jamaican guestworkers.Jim Crow.Leaford Williams.Luther L.

After an introduction covering the late 1930s, the study centers on the communist era, and goes on to describe changes in the post-communist period with its legacy of state socialism.0Tibor Valuch poses a series of questions. Who could be called rich or poor and how did they live in the various periods? How did living, furnishings, clothing, income and consumption mirror the structure of the society and its transformations? How could people accommodate their lifestyles to the political and social system? How specific to the regime was consumption after the communist takeover, and how did it change after the demise of the regime? The answers, based on micro-histories, statistical data, population censuses and surveys help to understand the complexities of daily life, not only in Hungary, but also in other communist regimes in east-central Europe, with insights on their antecedents and afterlives.Social conditionsfast(OCoLC)fst01919811Post-communismfast(OCoLC)fst01072730Consumption (Economics)fast(OCoLC)fst00876455Post-communismHungaryConsumption (Economics)HungaryHungaryfastHungarySocial conditions1989-HungarySocial conditions1945-1989communism.postcommunism.social history.social transformations.Social conditions.Post-communism.Consumption (Economics)Post-communismConsumption (Economics)943.905Valuch Tibor1076198Lo Bello Maya J.Opening the Futurefndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndMdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPUkMaJRUBOOK996483169403316Everyday Life under Communism and After2586500UNISA
