“The corporatization of U.S. agriculture and the growth of international free markets squeeze growers such that they cannot easily imagine increasing the pay of the pickers or improving the labor camps without bankrupting the farm. In other words, many of the most powerful inputs into the suffering of farmworkers are structural, not willed by individual agents. In this case, structural violence is enacted by market rule and later channeled by international and domestic racism, classism, sexism, and anti-immigrant prejudice. However, structural violence is not just a simple, unidirectional phenomenon; rather, macro social and economic structures produce vulnerability at every level of the farm hierarchy.” Structural ViolenceCorporatization Of Agriculture Book:Fresh Fruit, Broken Bodies: Migrant Farmworkers in the United States Source: Fresh Fruit, Broken Bodies: Migrant Farmworkers in the United States
