Fresh Fruit, Broken Bodies: Immigration & Inequality in Our Food System and the Need for Change

How do social inequality and suffering persist in our food systems? In his book, Fresh Fruit, Broken Bodies: Migrant Farmworkers in the United States, medical anthropologist and UC Berkeley Professor Seth M. Holmes (Division of Society & Environment and the Joint Program in Medical Anthropology) details how market forces, anti-immigrant sentiment, and racism undermine labor rights and health care for workers. Join the Council on Latin America & Iberian Studies (CLAIS) for its lunchtime colloquium as it hosts Dr. Holmes for a book discussion and Q&A on addressing the stark inequalities and hierarchies in agriculture today. Here are more event details.

This event is free and open to the public.

Co-sponsored by the Yale Department of Anthropology and Yale Sustainable Food Program.
