Reviews

This little book by Valeria Piro tells us about the daily grind of diverse nationality farm workers in south-east Italy (in Sicily to be precise) in rich ethnographic detail. The insights are subtle, insightful and meaningful for our understanding of work-life struggles far beyond the specific case. ... People could enjoy this book if they are interested in migration and nation/race, contemporary ethnography, in team work ... . This longitudinal ethnographic study is multi-dimensional, inclusive, complex, vivid and powerful. (Karen O'Reilly, Ethnic and Racial Studies, October 17, 2022)
