The program has been hailed as a model that alleviates human rights concerns because, under contract, SAWP workers travel legally, receive health benefits, contribute to pensions, are represented by Canadian consular officials, and rate the program favorably. Tomorrow We?re All Going to the Harvest takes us behind the ideology and examines the daily lives of SAWP workers from Tlaxcala, Mexico (one of the leading sending states), observing the great personal and family price paid in order to experience a temporary rise in a standard of living. The book also observes the disparities of a gutted Mexican countryside versus the flourishing agriculture in Canada, where farm labor demand remains high. Drawn from extensive surveys and nearly two hundred interviews, ethnographic work in Ontario (destination of over 77 percent of migrants in the author?s sample), and quantitative data, this is much more than a case study; it situates the Tlaxcala-Canada exchange within the broader issues of migration, economics, and cultural currents. Bringing to light the historical genesis of ?complementary? labor markets and the contradictory positioning of Mexican government representatives, Leigh Binford also explores the language barriers and nonexistent worker networks in Canada, as well as the physical realities of the work itself, making this book a complete portrait of a provocative segment of migrant labor. 410 0$aJoe R. and Teresa Lozano Long Series in Latin American and Latino Art and Culture 606 $aAgricultural laborers, Foreign$zCanada 606 $aForeign workers$xGovernment policy$zCanada 606 $aForeign workers, Mexican$zCanada 607 $aCanada$xEmigration and immigration$xEconomic aspects 607 $aMexico$xEmigration and immigration$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aAgricultural laborers, Foreign 615 0$aForeign workers$xGovernment policy 615 0$aForeign workers, Mexican 676 $a331.5/44 700 $aBinford$b Leigh$f1948-$01536929 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786377803321 996 $aTomorrow we're all going to the harvest$93785975 997 $aUNINA
