The Sound of Silence

By: Cynthia Lasante

How loud can it really get? A little child is just in the years of innocence, but her curiosity is far beyond her years. She stands, facing the railing, ready to test her curiosity. How far will she go to satisfy her anticipation to feel the vibrations, to hear the sound that will destroy? To what extent will her curiosity lead her to risk her life? Is she aware of the consequences she will confront? Can she measure the risks awaiting her? Will she face reality, or the dangers of the dead? Does she realize what this means, what situation this will put her into? She bends down on her knees, pressing her palms on the floor. Before she can think, she lies down, pressing her left ear on the rugged ground. She hears a phone call behind her, and she knows that something is wrong. Something terribly wrong is happening, but her curiosity does not let her run away. Fear creeps up into her system, as she waits...for the sound...for the sound that will change her life.

Transnational Employment Strain in a Global Health Pandemic

Migrant Farmworkers in Canada

By: Leah F. Vosko,Tanya Basok,Cynthia Spring

The 2020-22 COVID-19 pandemic reinforced inequalities between the global North and South, amplifying pre-existing disparities between migrant and citizen/permanent resident workers in receiving and sending states worldwide. In contexts such as Canada, it also underscored that many workers in occupations and sectors deemed “essential” enough to be exempt from stay-at-home orders and other public safety measures are migrants, a sizeable number of whom sustain Canada’s food supply through their work in its agricultural industry. This book explores the dynamics behind the pandemic’s deleterious outcomes for this vital group of workers, highlighting migrant farmworkers importance to the Canadian economy, society, and the world of work alongside the conditions they endured before and during the global health pandemic through policy and media analysis and open-ended interviews with workers enrolled in two streams of Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) as well as migrants without legal status employed in agriculture located in Ontario and Quebec. Advancing the notion of transnational employment strain, the authors derive insight from the employment strain model, a framework for understanding risks to the physical and psychological well-being of workers, and expand it to account for migrants’ relationships across transnational space.
