Mexican migrant farm workers in California, and across the nation, toil long hours, often without overtime pay, live in often squalid conditions, and earn low wages that have remained virtually unchanged for decades. Moreover, farm workers are isolated from the larger society, which often views them with suspicion as unwanted "illegal aliens." This dissertation offers an account of the lives and work of farm workers in California. It is based on two years of fieldwork in the state's farm worker labor camps, where I met workers, managers, and government supervisors. What I found is that migrant farm workers are faced with a unique context of reception that stimulates migration and hinders incorporation in the U.S.
