“…In my previous writing, I have examined how gardens serve as a significant source of sustenance and the maintenance of cultural identities, especially in the midst of migration and settlement (Mares & Peña, 2011;Mares, Wolcott-MacCausland, & Mazar, 2017). It is also the case that immigrant gardens are an important site to cultivate food sovereignty, particularly in the face of assimilatory forces and xenophobia.…”

Previous research on migrant farmworkers’ resistance efforts in the US focuses on collective organizing but often fails to adopt an intersectional lens that considers farmworker women’s everyday acts of resistance. This study looks at Mexican farmworker women’s resistance in response to the call by scholars for more nuanced portrayals of migrant farmworker’s struggle. Immigrant women of color and low-wage workers have mothering experiences marked by intersectional oppression that shape their food labor. I argue that farmworker mothers engage in everyday acts of resistance via their food labor in their agricultural work and at home feeding their families. An intersectional lens provides an essential perspective on the systemic transformations needed to improve farmworker’s lives in the US.
