Abstract
This article examines the precarious lives of indigenous migrant laborers in Baja California employed in the production of fresh fruits and vegetables for consumer markets in the United States. Neoliberal agrarian policies have rendered farmworkers a structurally vulnerable labor force with limited rights and benefits compared to workers in other employment sectors. To counteract government-sanctioned unions and other detrimental state policies, farmworkers have developed a multilayered agenda of individual and collective strategies for resistance, as well as labor mobilizations for independent unions. Their political struggle requires an analysis that avoids reducing them to the unidimensional category of labor and captures the close integration and synergy between labor and community organizing by which they seek to advance the full range of their rights as workers and citizens.
