520    "They Leave Their Kidneys in the Fields takes the reader 
       on an ethnographic tour of the melon and corn harvesting 
       fields in California's Central Valley to understand why 
       farmworkers die at work each summer. Laden with 
       captivating detail of farmworkers' daily work and home 
       lives, Horton examines how U.S. immigration policy and the
       historic exclusion of farmworkers from the promises of 
       liberalism has made migrant farmworkers what she calls 
       'exceptional workers.' She explores the deeply intertwined
       political, legal, and social factors that place Latino 
       migrants at particular risk of illness and injury in the 
       fields, as well as the patchwork of health care, 
       disability, and Social Security policies that provide them
       little succor when they become sick or grow old. The book 
       takes an in-depth look at the work risks faced by migrants
       at all stages of life: as teens, in their middle-age, and 
       ultimately as elderly workers. By following the lives of a
       core group of farmworkers over nearly a decade, Horton 
       provides a searing portrait of how their precarious 
       immigration and work statuses culminate in preventable 
       morbidity and premature death"--Provided by publisher.
