These sites, typically frequented by immigrant Latin American men---mostly taken to be 'undocumented' immigrants--constitute an important source of unskilled manual labor that sustains building, landscaping, and moving activities in the country. Despite their ubiquitous presence in urban areas, however, much of the research on immigration overlooks day laborers' very existence. While standing in plain view, these men live and work in a precarious environment: As they try to make enough money to send home, they are at the mercy of unscrupulous employers, doing dangerous and underpaid work, and, ultimately, experiencing great threats to their identities and social roles as men. Born and raised in Colombia by an American mother and Colombian father, Juan Thomas Ordo?n?ez spent two years on an informal labor site in the Bay Area, documenting the harsh lives led by some of these men during the worst economic crisis the country has seen in decades. Another Latin American among mainly Mexican and Central American day laborers, he gained a vantage on the immigrant experience based on close relationships with a cohort of men whose lives unravel in a setting of competition, stress, loneliness, and resilience. Both eye-opening and heart-breaking, this account offers a unique perspective on how the informal economy of undocumented labor truly functions in American society"--Provided by publisher. 410 0$aCalifornia series in public anthropology. 606 $aDay laborers$zCalifornia$zBerkeley 606 $aForeign workers, Latin American$zCalifornia$zBerkeley 606 $aUndocumented immigrants$xEmployment$zCalifornia$zBerkeley 610 $aamerican economy. 610 $aamerican immigrants. 610 $aamerican labor. 610 $aamerican society. 610 $aanthropology. 610 $abusiness. 610 $acalifornia series in public anthropology. 610 $aconstant competition. 610 $adangerous work. 610 $aday laborer. 610 $aeconomic crisis. 610 $aindustrial relations. 610 $ainformal day labor sites. 610 $ainformal economy. 610 $ainformal labor. 610 $alabor studies. 610 $alatin american men. 610 $aloneliness. 610 $apoor. 610 $apoverty. 610 $aprecarious. 610 $asan francisco bay area. 610 $asocial roles. 610 $astress. 610 $aunderpaid work. 610 $aundocumented immigrants. 610 $aundocumented labor. 610 $aunited states. 610 $aunskilled manual labor. 610 $aurban. 615 0$aDay laborers 615 0$aForeign workers, Latin American 615 4$aUndocumented immigrants$xEmployment 676 $a331 700 $aOrdo?n?ez$b Juan Thomas$f1976-$01475905 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788300403321 996 $aJornalero$93690292 997 $aUNINA
