DESCRIPTION:López discusses her award-winning book, which exposes the human impact of 
 NAFTA on migrant farmworkers from Mexico to California in a rare insider's 
 view.\n\nThe Farmworker's Journey illuminates the dark side of economic 
 globalization, revealing the harsh realities of life along the migrant 
 farmworkers' binational circuit that stretches from the west central Mexico 
 countryside to central California. Over the course of ten years, Ann 
 Aurelia López conducted a series of intimate interviews with farmworkers 
 and their families along the migrant circuit. She deftly weaves their 
 voices together with up-to-date research to portray a world hidden from 
 most Americans-a world of inescapable poverty that has worsened 
 considerably since NAFTA was implemented in 1994. López contends that 
 today it has become nearly impossible for rural communities in Mexico to 
 continue to farm the land sustainably, leaving few survival options except 
 the perilous border crossing to the United States.\n\nDr. López, a 
 Research Associate with the Center for Agroecology and Sustainable Food 
 Systems at the University of California, Santa Cruz, is in the process of 
 establishing a non-profit organization designed to improve the lives of 
 California farmworkers and their families in Mexico.\n
