Taking a social justice stance, this volume examines the health and living conditions of workers in agriculture, while advocating for equality. Contributors cover all major areas of illness and injury (including occupational, environmental, infections, and pesticides), while also focusing on systemic social conditions, from lax industry regulations to lack of basic services—problems that are exacerbated by workers’ status as recent immigrants. Mental health burdens from the effects of discrimination to substance use, as well as the cumulative impact of workers’ separation from families are discussed for a comprehensive, meticulously documented resource.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten to serve both the seasoned professional and the newcomer, \u003cem\u003eLatino Farmworkers in the Eastern United States\u003c\/em\u003e is a bedrock source of information for those providing health and social services in the community, for researchers investigating health and safety disparities, and for advocates and policymakers working to correct them.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2009-03-19\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780387883465\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-0-387-88347-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 240\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44806845890700,"sku":"9780387883465","price":98.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780387883465.jpg?v=1775762748","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780387883465","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
