GARRAPA, Anna Mary. Globalization from Above and Below in the San Quintin Valley, Oxnard, and Other Strawberry Production Territories. Migr. Inter [online]. 2020, vol.11, e1904.  Epub 30-Ago-2021. ISSN 2594-0279.  https://doi.org/10.33679/rmi.v1i1.1904.

The article will analyze different recruiting methods adopted by local farms located in the San Quintin Valley, in Baja California, and transnational companies that operate in the strawberry sector in both Mexico and the United States. This valley is a fundamental route for migrants from southern Mexico who travel to the north of the country and the U.S. The article draws on the fieldwork carried out during 2016 and 2017, in San Quintin and Oxnard (U.S.), where the presence of the same agri-food corporations allows an analysis of their economic and territorial strategies. The methodology has been based on quantitative and especially qualitative techniques.

Palavras-chave : migrant day laborers; agri-food corporations; strawberry crops; San Quintin Valley-Baja California; Oxnard-California.
