The (Re)Production of the Exploitative Nature of Rural Migrant Labour in EuropeReviewsThe global pandemic has painfully shown how international labour migration is essential to Europe's economy and food security. Indeed the role of migration in revitalizing rural communities in Europe and in keeping agriculture afloat cannot be overstated. This is a timely and much needed book that investigates the social and economic implications of international labour migration to Europe's rural regions from both empirical and analytical perspectives. Anna Triandafyllidou, Ryerson University, Canada This is book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the phenomenon of internal rural migration in Europe, its diversity of local practices and similarity in outcomes for social groups, rural industries and rural societies across and within countries in Europe. It is the combination of empirically rich, in-depth case studies that portray the human element of migration with discussions of their significance against the background of labour market and migration theories and the specificity of the rural context that makes the book so particularly insightful. Bettina Bock, Wageningen University & Research, Netherlands In fourteen expertly-crafted chapters, this collection offers a historically-informed snapshot of the living and working conditions of people who migrate to rural areas of Europe and the US for agricultural work. Never flinching from sharp critical analysis of the racial capitalism that often seeks to divide workforces in order to weaken them, International Labour Migration to Europe's Rural Regions also engages with rural workers' responses to the multiple structures of oppression they face. This book could not be more timely. Emerging as it does during a pandemic that has seen agricultural workers finally gain recognition as 'key workers' it challenges the lie of 'unskilled work' and the stigma that often accompanies agricultural wage work.
