In recent years, Mediterranean agriculture has experienced important transformations which have led to new forms of labour and production, and in particular to a surge in the recruitment of migrant labour. This book brings together international contributors from across several disciplines to describe and analyse labour conditions and international migrations in relation to agri-food restructuring processes in Southern European, Maghreb and Middle Eastern countries.
The chapters present case studies from different territories of the Mediterranean basin, offering empirical data and theoretical analysis in order to grasp the complexity of the processes that are occurring. The book offers a uniquely comprehensive overview of migrations, territories and agro-food production in this key region, which will be an indispensible resource to scholars in migration studies, rural sociology, social geography and the political economy of agriculture.
