The necropolitics of expendability : migrant farm workers during COVID-19 Kotsila, Panagiota Argüelles, Lucía Agricultural labor Social exclusion Public health Intersectionality Necropolitics Feminist political ecology Spain Unidad de excelencia María de Maeztu CEX2019-000940-M COVID-19 has made visible and deepened inequalities globally, while also manifesting the vital role of functional food, health, and care systems in a context of strong socio-ecological interdependencies. We here mobilize bio- and necro-politics to problematize the declaration of agricultural workers as 'essential' and the accompanying policies during the early months of the pandemic, focusing on the region of Lleida, Spain. We show how this proclaimed indispensibility was aiming mostly at securing cheap labor to agri-business while workers continued to be treated as expendable. An intersectionality lens allows us to understand discrimination and racism as health determinants, operating within and defining 'glocal' food necropolitics and COVID-19 biopolitics. 2024 Article https://ddd.uab.cat/record/301464 urn:10.1080/03066150.2023.2243440 urn:oai:ddd.uab.cat:301464 urn:oai:egreta.uab.cat:publications/96172322-4f63-4d5d-bbd6-524d9a3a7d44 urn:pure_id:370774753 urn:scopus_id:85168875422 urn:wos_id:001060362800001 urn:articleid:17439361v51n2p441 http://hdl.handle.net/2072/477786 eng European Commission 764908 Agencia Estatal de Investigación IJC2020-045101-I Agencia Estatal de Investigación IJC2019-040934-I Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación CEX2019-000940-M Agència de Gestió d'Ajuts Universitaris i de Recerca 2021/SGR-00975 Agència de Gestió d'Ajuts Universitaris i de Recerca 2021/SGR-00116 The Journal of peasant studies ; Vol. 51, Issue 2 (2024), p. 441-465 open access Aquest document està subjecte a una llicència d'ús Creative Commons.
