video submission created by by sadasiangirlsclub:

 This is a project by Esther Fan and Olivia Park with the help of Shuyao Bian and JI Hee Han. We’re SAD ASIAN GIRLS CLUB. We’ve recently created a short video project focused on the relationship between Asian-American girls and  their conservative parents. We want our short video to reach as many female Asian millennials as possible.

Romantic agrarianism. Caribbean workers in New York's Hudson Valley. Farm owners fear of the "Americanization" of their Latino farm workers (i.e. they become knowledgable about farm laborer rights in a democracy).

I'm making my way through Margaret Gray's smart book out of UC Press - Labor and the Locavore: The Making of a Comprehensive Food Ethic. I learned of it through Doug Henwood's thoughtful, irreverent and refreshing  interview with Margaret on his radio show, Behind the News (KPFA).
