BARNDT, DEBORAH Tangled Routes: Women, Work, and Globalization on the Tomato Trail
Garamond Press, 2002. (ISBN: 1551930420) Paperback , 10 x 7 x 1 inches. Clean, tight. Shelf wear. Tangled Routes follows a corporate tomato from a Mexican field through the United States to a Canadian table, examining in its wake the dynamic relationship between production and consumption, work and technology, health and environment, bio-diversity and cultural diversity. Three case studies--a Mexican agribusiness, a Canadian supermarket, and a U.S.-owned fast-food restaurant--offer a view of globalization from above (corporate profiles), globalization from below (stories of women who plant, pick, pack, scan, slice, and sell tomatoes), and the other globalization (acts of resistance and alternatives to the corporate model). Very Good.
