Antonio Castellanos <[log in to unmask]> Thu, Nov 14, 7:24 AM (4 days ago) to ICGG * Apologies for cross-posting * Dear all, we recently published an article on labour issues in oil palm (Vol. 71, Journal of Rural Studies) that might be of your interest. Research was carried out in the Lacandon Rainforest and Soconusco (Chiapas) and in northern Guatemala (Alta Verapaz). In this article, we critically assess narratives that frame oil palm as leading to rural employment and development. We also analyse who works in oil palm production and why, under which labour arrangements (comparing smallholdings to private sector plantations) and how are arrangements experienced and resisted by workers (some are migrant workers). This study delves into bodily implications of labour in oil palm, takes into account agrarian change dynamics and what labour in oil palm implies for a workforce differentiated by class, gender and ethnicity.
