Against the backdrop of the antitobacco movement, the globalization and industrialization of agriculture, and intense debates over immigration, Peter Benson draws on years of field research to examine the moral and financial struggles of growers, the difficult conditions that affect Mexican migrant workers, and the complex politics of citizenship and economic decline in communities dependent on this most harmful commodity. Benson tracks the development of tobacco farming since the plantation slavery period and the formation of a powerful tobacco industry presence in North Carolina. In recent decades, tobacco companies that sent farms into crisis by aggressively switching to cheaper foreign leaf have coached growers to blame the state, public health, and aggrieved racial minorities for financial hardship and feelings of vilification. Economic globalization has exacerbated social and racial tensions in North Carolina, but the corporations that benefit from it have rarely been considered a key cause of harm and instability, and have now adopted social-responsibility platforms to elide liability for smoking disease. Parsing the nuances of history, power, and politics in rural America, Benson explores the cultural and ethical ambiguities of tobacco farming and offers concrete recommendations for the tobacco-control movement in the United States and worldwide."--Provided by publisher. 000449318 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000449318 650_0 $$aTobacco workers$$zNorth Carolina$$xSocial conditions. 000449318 650_0 $$aMigrant agricultural laborers$$zNorth Carolina$$xSocial conditions. 000449318 650_0 $$aTobacco farmers$$zNorth Carolina$$xSocial conditions. 000449318 650_0 $$aTobacco industry$$xSocial aspects$$zNorth Carolina. 000449318 650_0 $$aAntismoking movement$$xSocial aspects$$zNorth Carolina. 000449318 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aBenson, Peter, 1979-$$tTobacco capitalism.$$dPrinceton, N.J. : Princeton University Press, c2012$$z9780691149196$$z9780691149202$$w(DLC) 2011017665$$w(OCoLC)720260200 000449318 8520_ $$bacq 000449318 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000449318 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=775529$$zOnline Access 000449318 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:449318$$pGLOBAL_SET 000449318 980__ $$aEBOOK 000449318 980__ $$aBIB 000449318 982__ $$aEbook 000449318 983__ $$aOnline
