Kim, Joon K. – Aztlan: A Journal of Chicano Studies, 2012
During the interwar period, California's labor-intensive agriculture transitioned from reliance on diverse immigrants to preference for Mexicans.

Wilhelm, Mike – Reclaiming Children and Youth, 2009
This is a story about industrial art. It is certainly not a story about smart studios and fashionable galleries, subtle techniques and aesthetic beauty. This is a story of sheet rock, nails, and low-grade lumber in the hands of unskilled teenage laborers. While this story boasts of no future museum pieces, it tells a heartwarming story of rare…

Jaffee, Daniel; Kloppenburg, Jack R.; Monroy, Mario B. – Rural Sociology, 2004
Fair trade is typically understood as an alternative market system that aims to right historically inequitable terms of trade between the geopolitical North and South and foster more direct producer/consumer linkages. We suggest that a more expansive application of the term "fair trade" to encompass agro-food initiatives within the North and South…

Aitken, Stuart; Estrada, Silvia Lopez; Jennings, Joel; Aguirre, Lina Maria – Childhood: A Global Journal of Child Research, 2006
The issue of child labor continues to challenge thinking on the nature of work, play, schooling and apprenticeship. New wisdom from some contemporary academic writing places children closer to the center of our understanding of consumption, production and reproduction, and at the heart of inequities generated by globalization. Child labor comes in…

Detre, Laura A. – Great Plains Quarterly, 2004
One of the major challenges that Canadian government officials felt they faced at the end of the nineteenth century was the development of the prairie West. By this time there were large urban centers in eastern Canada, but many Canadians worried that they had not truly ensured the future existence of their country. To do this the government…
