Shifting Responsibilities
In the United States, rural areas are growing as new immigrant destinations (NIDs) where refugees and other precarious migrant families settle to work within agro-industries such as poultry processing. Often lacking resources and infrastructure geared toward refugee-migrants, we argue rural NIDs place greater demands, socially and economically, on youth in these families. Focusing on refugee-migrant youth aged 18–25 years, we explore the “life-wo…
Estimating Pluvial Depth–Damage Functions for Areas within the United States Using Historical Claims Data
Flooding has been the most costly natural disaster over the last 2 decades within the US. Therefore, recent research has focused on more accurately predicting economic losses from flooding to aid decision makers and mitigate economic exposure. For this, depth–damage functions have commonly been employed to predict the relative or absolute damage to buildings caused by different magnitudes of flooding. Although depth–damage functions, such as thos…
Personality differences between videogame vs. non-videogame consumers using the Hexaco model
Faith in Action
On 29 July 2003, thousands of unemployed farmworkers and their families who had been evicted from coffee estates in the province of Matagalpa, Nicaragua, joined a peaceful march. “The March of the Hungry,” as they named their public demonstration, was not hyperbole
After the raid
Over the past two decades United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have engaged in a series of workplace raids in small rural towns home to meat processing plants. Targeted enforcement operations such as workplace raids are indicative of a shifting spatiality of bordering practices as immigrant policing moves from the territorial borderline into the ‘everyday’ spaces where migrants and non-migrants live and work. Drawing upon a fem…
A Bayesian Modeling Approach for Estimating Earthquake Reconstruction Behavior
Rebuilding and repairing damaged physical infrastructure is a primary source of disaster aid spending following major earthquakes. Although aid distribution is monitored, it is not well understood how economic support and technical assistance affect reconstruction behavior. This study develops and evaluates a Bayesian item response theory modeling framework for estimating the probability of reconstructive action from household-level survey data. …
Solidarity Interrupted
Ethical commodity networks have been advanced as a means to promote cooperative development, engender more democratic forms of governance, promote environmental conservation, and redistribute a greater share of returns to farmers and workers. This essay draws upon long-term ethnographic research on the role of solidarity within two Mesoamerican coffee-producing cooperatives to understand the effects of certification regimes that undergird many et…
Two hidden histories of rural racial solidarity movements

The role of the media in developing a shared moral understanding
Over the last few decades, research has shown that media outlets are good at telling people what to think about, fulfilling what researchers call the agenda-setting role of the media. To that end, media outlets from social media to newspapers can play a pivotal role in developing a shared moral understanding

Bailing out the food banks? Hunger relief, food waste, and crisis in Central Appalachia
In 2015, West Virginia's flagship food bank confronted a financial crisis that threatened to cut off the supply of emergency food to some 600 agencies serving 300,000 people a month. Focusing on this crisis, we explore the evolution of charitable food networks across the United States with a particular focus on the role of food banking within agro-industrial supply chains. Drawing on a three year institutional ethnography of West Virginia's food …

Reclaiming the worker's property
In this paper I explore a land grabbing resistance movement composed of unemployed coffee workers in Central Nicaragua. Between 1996 and 2000, a private agro-export conglomerate appropriated worker-owned coffee estates previously designated as the Area Propiedad del Los Trabajadores (APT), or the Worker's Property. Following mass protests between 2001 and 2004, worker representatives from the Asociación de Trabajadores del Campo (ATC) and governm…
Delivering the Goods
This paper explores a deceptively simple question: why do peasant farmers participate in Fair Trade coffee networks? Campaigns touting Fair Trade often suggest that farmers are incentivized to participate due to price premiums and social development benefits. However, a growing literature documenting development outcomes in coffee farming communities suggests that farmers do not reap the benefits of Fair Trade in the way they are presented in the…
SolidarityTM
Ethical labeling campaigns have become a central means for diffusing and negotiating conflicts between social movements and market actors. Fair Trade was a pioneering ethical label and, by many accounts, a success. For nearly a decade, United Students for Fair Trade (USFT) activists worked to build the reputation of the Fair Trade Certified (FTC) label, but in Fall 2011 they withdrew their support and urged ethical consumers to do the same. This …
Breaking the Chains
In the early 2000s the coffee crisis emerged as a central object of study for commodity chain scholars. In this paper I revisit the scene of the coffee crisis in Nicaragua to understand violent processes of devaluation and disinvestment that devastated the countryside for more than five years (2000-05). Employing a commodity disarticulations approach, I argue that conventional explanations of the coffee crisis as one of overproduction and devalua…
Indebted to Fair Trade? Coffee and crisis in Nicaragua
Third World Environmental Justice
This special issue relates the key analytical constructs of environmental justice scholarship – distributive justice, procedural justice and environmental racism – to a series of Third World case studies. It calls attention to the need to theorize both distributive burdens and benefits; treat the relative salience of race as a category of differentiation as an empirical question; and examine new avenues of procedural justice that have opened up t…
