Samenvatting

Takes the reader on a tour of the melon and corn harvesting fields of California's Central Valley to understand why farmworkers suffer heatstroke and chronic illness at rates higher than workers in any other industry. The author documents in detail how a tightly interwoven web of public policies and private interests create needless suffering.
