In a highly competitive global scenario, driven by multinational corporations and large retailers, small and medium-sized farms largely rely on migrant labour to fill their demand for casualized, flexible and low-paid jobs. By taking the reader into the plastic factories where the author was hired as a farmworker, this book sheds light on the struggles around the employment contract, the wage and the body which take place every day between employers and employees. The book contributes to broadening the understanding of the dynamics innervating food production worldwide by recognizing the pivotal role of migrant labour not only as a factor in the restructuring of global supply chains, but also as an actor shaping these processes through its own unpredictable strategies. Valeria Piro is a post-doctoral researcher in Labour Sociology at the University of Padova and a teaching fellow in Sociology of Migration at the University of Bologna, Italy. 001437735 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed June 1, 2021). 001437735 650_0 $$aMigrant agricultural laborers$$zItaly. 001437735 650_0 $$aAgricultural laborers$$zItaly. 001437735 650_6 $$aTravailleurs agricoles migrants$$zItalie. 001437735 650_6 $$aTravailleurs agricoles$$zItalie. 001437735 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001437735 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3030745082$$z9783030745080$$w(OCoLC)1242466244 001437735 852__ $$bebk 001437735 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-74509-7$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001437735 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1437735$$pGLOBAL_SET 001437735 980__ $$aBIB 001437735 980__ $$aEBOOK 001437735 982__ $$aEbook 001437735 983__ $$aOnline 001437735 994__ $$a92$$bISE
