| Zusammenfassung: | Tobacco Capitalism tells the story of the people who live and work on U.S. tobacco farms at a time when the global tobacco industry is undergoing profound changes. Against the backdrop of the antitobacco movement, the globalization and industrialization of agriculture, and intense debates over immigration, Peter Benson draws on years of field research to examine the moral and financial struggles of growers, the difficult conditions that affect Mexican migrant workers, and the complex politics of citizenship and economic decline in communities dependent on this most harmful commodity. Benson tracks the development of tobacco farming since the plantation slavery period and the formation of a powerful tobacco industry presence in North Carolina. In recent decades, tobacco companies that sent farms into crisis by aggressively switching to cheaper foreign leaf have coached growers to blame the state, public health, and aggrieved racial minorities for financial hardship and feelings of vilification. Economic globalization has exacerbated social and racial tensions in North Carolina, but the corporations that benefit have rarely been considered a key cause of harm and instability, and have now adopted social-responsibility platforms to elide liability for smoking disease. Parsing the nuances of history, power, and politics in rural America, Benson explores the cultural and ethical ambiguities of tobacco farming and offers concrete recommendations for the tobacco-control movement in the United States and worldwide |

Nov 2018) Tobacco Capitalism tells the story of the people who live and work on U.S. tobacco farms at a time when the global tobacco industry is undergoing profound changes. Against the backdrop of the antitobacco movement, the globalization and industrialization of agriculture, and intense debates over immigration, Peter Benson draws on years of field research to examine the moral and financial struggles of growers, the difficult conditions that affect Mexican migrant workers, and the complex politics of citizenship and economic decline in communities dependent on this most harmful commodity. Benson tracks the development of tobacco farming since the plantation slavery period and the formation of a powerful tobacco industry presence in North Carolina. In recent decades, tobacco companies that sent farms into crisis by aggressively switching to cheaper foreign leaf have coached growers to blame the state, public health, and aggrieved racial minorities for financial hardship and feelings of vilification. Economic globalization has exacerbated social and racial tensions in North Carolina, but the corporations that benefit have rarely been considered a key cause of harm and instability, and have now adopted social-responsibility platforms to elide liability for smoking disease. Parsing the nuances of history, power, and politics in rural America, Benson explores the cultural and ethical ambiguities of tobacco farming and offers concrete recommendations for the tobacco-control movement in the United States and worldwide In English Migrant agricultural laborers North Carolina Social conditions Tobacco farmers North Carolina Social conditions Tobacco industry Social aspects North Carolina Tobacco workers North Carolina Social conditions Ausländischer Arbeitnehmer (DE-588)4003743-5 gnd rswk-swf Prävention (DE-588)4076308-0 gnd rswk-swf Landarbeiter (DE-588)4034217-7 gnd rswk-swf Tabakindustrie (DE-588)4184297-2 gnd rswk-swf Tabakpflanzer (DE-588)4337253-3 gnd rswk-swf Soziale Situation (DE-588)4077575-6 gnd rswk-swf Rauchen (DE-588)4048539-0 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Tabakindustrie (DE-588)4184297-2 s Tabakpflanzer (DE-588)4337253-3 s Landarbeiter (DE-588)4034217-7 s Ausländischer Arbeitnehmer (DE-588)4003743-5 s Soziale Situation (DE-588)4077575-6 s Rauchen (DE-588)4048539-0 s Prävention (DE-588)4076308-0 s 1\p DE-604 https://doi.org/10.1515/9781400840403 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
