With These Hands documents the farm labor system through the presentation of a collection of voices--workers who labor in the fields, growers who manage the multi-billion dollar agricultural industry, contractors who link workers with growers, coyotes who smuggle people across the border, union organizers, lobbyists, physicians, workers' families in Mexico, farmworker children and others. The diversity of stories presents the world of migrant farmworkers as a complex social and economic system, a network of intertwined lives, showing how all Americans are bound to the struggles and contributions of our nation's farm laborers.

Industry Reviews

"There are hands at both ends of the food chain. That is what Daniel Rothenberg strives so mightily and successfully to show us in this book, an engrossing and often surprising collection of oral histories."--"San Diego Union Tribune"
