Research has established that the burdens of externalities associated with industrial production are disproportionately borne by socially and politically vulnerable groups, and this is particularly true for farmworkers who are at high risk for environmental exposures and illnesses. The impacts of these risks are often compounded by farmworker communities’ social vulnerability. Yet, less is known about how the intersection of race, class, and gender can position some farmworkers to be at higher risk for particular types of oppressions. We extend the literature by analyzing the case of Black women farmworkers in Apopka, Florida, which was historically home to a large agricultural community. Drawing on the concept of critical environmental justice, we investigate the lived experiences of these women in the context of racialized, gendered, and economic oppressions during their time working on the farms. We use the case of Apopka to ask: (a) how the policies and socio-historical context of the agricultural industry in the American South contributed to injustices experienced by Black women farmworkers in Apopka, Florida; and (b) how race, gender, and class intersected and intersect to create and legitimize environmental injustices in the workplace for these farmworkers. Our data include semi-structured in-depth interviews, newspaper and media coverage, and archival materials. Our analysis advances work on critical environmental justice and intersectionality by mapping the relationship between structural and environmental intersectional oppressions for Black women farmworkers.

美国南部的环境正义:对佛罗里达州阿波普卡的黑人女性农场工人的分析

研究表明,与工业生产相关的外部性负担不成比例地由社会和政治上的弱势群体承担,对于环境暴露和疾病风险高的农场工人来说尤其如此。这些风险的影响往往因农场工人社区的社会脆弱性而加剧。然而,人们对种族、阶级和性别的交集如何使一些农场工人面临特定类型压迫的更高风险知之甚少。我们通过分析佛罗里达州阿波普卡的黑人女性农场工人的案例来扩展文献,该地区历史上是一个大型农业社区的所在地。借鉴批判性环境正义的概念,我们调查了这些女性在种族、性别、他们在农场工作期间的经济压迫。我们使用 Apopka 的案例来询问:(a) 美国南部农业的政策和社会历史背景如何导致佛罗里达州 Apopka 的黑人女性农场工人遭受的不公正待遇;(b) 种族、性别和阶级如何交叉和交叉,从而为这些农场工人在工作场所创造和合法化环境不公。我们的数据包括半结构化深度访谈、报纸和媒体报道以及档案材料。我们的分析通过绘制黑人女性农场工人的结构性和环境交叉性压迫之间的关系,推进了关于关键环境正义和交叉性的工作。(a) 美国南部农业的政策和社会历史背景如何导致佛罗里达州阿波普卡的黑人女农场工人遭受不公正待遇;(b) 种族、性别和阶级如何交叉和交叉,从而为这些农场工人在工作场所创造和合法化环境不公。我们的数据包括半结构化深度访谈、报纸和媒体报道以及档案材料。我们的分析通过绘制黑人女性农场工人的结构性和环境交叉性压迫之间的关系,推进了关于关键环境正义和交叉性的工作。(a) 美国南部农业的政策和社会历史背景如何导致佛罗里达州阿波普卡的黑人女农场工人遭受不公正待遇;(b) 种族、性别和阶级如何交叉和交叉,从而为这些农场工人在工作场所创造和合法化环境不公。我们的数据包括半结构化深度访谈、报纸和媒体报道以及档案材料。我们的分析通过绘制黑人女性农场工人的结构性和环境交叉性压迫之间的关系,推进了关于关键环境正义和交叉性的工作。和阶级交叉和交叉,为这些农场工人在工作场所创造和合法化环境不公平。我们的数据包括半结构化深度访谈、报纸和媒体报道以及档案材料。我们的分析通过绘制黑人女性农场工人的结构性和环境交叉性压迫之间的关系,推进了关于关键环境正义和交叉性的工作。和阶级交叉和交叉,为这些农场工人在工作场所创造和合法化环境不公平。我们的数据包括半结构化深度访谈、报纸和媒体报道以及档案材料。我们的分析通过绘制黑人女性农场工人的结构性和环境交叉性压迫之间的关系,推进了关于关键环境正义和交叉性的工作。
