Description: In the Struggle : A History of Politically Engaged Scholarship in California’s San Joaquin Valley, Hardcover by O'Connell, Daniel; Peters, Scott, ISBN 1613321236, ISBN-13 9781613321232, Brand New, Free shipping in the US "From the early twentieth century to the present, In the Struggle brings together the cross-generational stories of eight politically engaged scholars, documenting their opposition to industrial-scale agribusiness in California. As the narrative unfolds,their previously censored and suppressed research, together with personal accounts of intimidation and subterfuge, is introduced into the public arena for the first time. In the Struggle lays out historic, subterranean confrontations over water rights, labor organizing, and the corruption of democratic principles and public institutions. As California's rural economy increasingly consolidates into the hands of land barons and corporations, the scholars' work shifts from analyzing problems and formulatingresearch methods to organizing resistance and building community power. The findings and the intense political pressure put upon the work of these scholars--Paul Taylor, Ernesto Galarza, and Isao Fujimoto among them--are a damning indictment of the greedand corruption that flourish under industrial-scale agriculture. After almost a century of empirical evidence and published research, a definitive finding becomes clear: land consolidation and economic monopoly are fundamentally detrimental to democracy and the well-being of rural societies."--
