«“The book is skilfully wrought and a rewarding read. Alongside pictures of workers living and working conditions, Valeria Piro uses the neat and succinct format demanded of a Palgrave Pivot author to tell her quite complex story in an engaging and digestible style. ... Migrant farmworkers is an impressive book that deserves a wide readership.” (di Ben Rogaly, SOCIOLOGIA URBANA E RURALE, Issue 131, 2023)
“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)»
