Bison And People On The North American Great Plains - A Deep Environmental History

Power And Control In The Imperial Valley - Nature, Agribusiness, And Workers On The California Borderland, 1900-1940

by Benny J Andres

13,24€ + 10% CARD

 <DIV><I>Power and Control in the Imperial Valley</I> examines the evolution of irrigated farming in the Imperial-Mexicali Valley, an arid desert straddling the California-Baja California border. Bisected by the international boundary line, the valley drew American investors determined to harness the nearby Colorado River to irrigate a million acres on both sides of the border. The "conquest" of the environment was a central theme in the history of the valley.<BR /><BR /> Colonization in the valley began with the construction of a sixty-mile aqueduct from the Colorado River in California through Mexico. Initially, Mexico held authority over water delivery until settlers persuaded Congress to construct the All-American Canal. Control over land and water formed the basis of commercial agriculture and in turn enabled growers to use the state to procure inexpensive, plentiful immigrant workers.</DIV>

Working Women Into The Borderlands

by Sonia Hernandez

13,24€ + 10% CARD

 <DIV>In <I>Working Women into the Borderlands</I>, author Sonia Hernández sheds light on how women’s labor was shaped by US capital in the northeast region of Mexico and how women’s labor activism simultaneously shaped the nature of foreign investment and relations between Mexicans and Americans. As capital investments fueled the growth of heavy industries in cities and ports such as Monterrey and Tampico, women’s work complemented and strengthened their male counterparts’ labor in industries which were historically male-dominated.<BR /><BR />As Hernández reveals, women laborers were expected to maintain their "proper" place in society, and work environments were in fact gendered and class-based. Yet, these prescribed notions of class and gender were frequently challenged as women sought to improve their livelihoods by using everyday forms of negotiation including collective organizing, labor arbitration boards, letter writing, creating unions, assuming positions of <I>confianza</I> ("trustworthiness"), and by migrating to urban centers and/or crossing into Texas.<BR /><BR />Drawing extensively on bi-national archival sources, newspapers, and published records, <I>Working Women into the Borderlands</I> demonstrates convincingly how women’s labor contributions shaped the development of one of the most dynamic and contentious borderlands in the globe.<BR /></DIV>
