Descripción
Sumario:The objective of this work is to analyze the precariousness of the working conditions of agricultural day laborers in the San Quintín Valley, Baja California as a result of the application of neoliberal policies in Mexico since the 1980s. The San Valley Quintín has been established as an agro-export enclave that attracts a migrant population from the states of Oaxaca and Guerrero with the purpose of working as day laborers with precarious working conditions in the harvest of vegetables and red fruits. We start from the idea that this process is the result of two logics: the gradual withdrawal of the State in propping up the productive activities of the primary sector in the center and south of the country, which brought with it a crisis in agricultural production, the proletarianization of peasants and the increase in internal and international migration. And because of the control of the market by the transnational agro-industries, which have become the main space for the absorption of the migrant labor force. We understand precariousness as a process that is closely related to the devastating consequences of the application of neoliberal policies and in which conditions of vulnerability and uncertainty have deteriorated the reproduction of life.
