Resumen
BINFORD, Leigh. Campos agrícolas, campos de poder: el Estado mexicano, los granjeros canadienses y los trabajadores temporales mexicanos. Migr. Inter [online]. 2006, vol.3, n.3, pp.54-80. ISSN 2594-0279.
This essay analyses the Temporary Farm Workers Program between Mexico and Canada using the terms "social fields" and "power spaces" to understand the apparent contradiction between the satisfaction expressed by the participants in the program and high levels of control, intensive work and low wages that the workers suffer in Canada. Only when we observe the ways the migrants "weave" the different power spaces-in Canada's social relations space and the space shaped by the relations in the community they live-we can understand that to be working in Canada, that means to break their family and community bonds, the workers can comply with the local moral and cultural expectations.
