Selected Works:
Phillip A. Hough assesses the validity of Bergquist’s interpretation of the coffee growers of mid twentieth-century Colombia, as well as extending Bergquist’s framework into the contemporary era of coca growers and accelerating extractive sectors of the economy.
This paper extends scholarship on emerging sources of worker power in the 21st century through an examination of the solidarity activism of the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW), an agricultural worker-led human rights organisation that advocates for Fair Food policies. We demonstrate how CIW coalitions are sustained through solidarity narratives that clarify the stakes for student allies and the discursive frames that motivate their activism.
Dr. Phillip A. Hough published . This book pulls together nearly two decades of research analyzing the intersection of capitalist development, political violence, and struggles for labor and land rights in Colombia’s coffee, banana, and coca-producing regions. It received "Honorable Mention" for the 2023 Barrington Moore Award of the Comparative and Historical section and "Winner" of the 2023 Immanuel Wallerstein Memorial Book Award of the Political Economy of the World-System section of the American Sociological Association.
Yang-Sook Kim, 2022, National Care Experts and Joseonjok Aunties: Eldercare Workers’ Resistance in South Korea. Korean Journal of International Migration , 9(1), 5-23 (Written in Korean).
In this paper, we approach citizenship as a claims-making process consisting of social construction practices that emerge from ongoing negotiations and contestations. Kim and Chien examines the migrant subject-making process of Korean Chinese migrants in South Korea. Kim and Chien draw on the voices of migrants to discuss how Korean Chinese construct their migrant subjectivity by mobilizing a collective understanding of ethnonational belonging and thereby deploy distinctive strategies to support their claims.
This article examines how state eldercare provision influences care workers’ subjectivities and claims for dignity and self-worth. Drawing upon extensive fieldwork conducted in South Korea, Kim argues that migrant and native-born care workers construct different ideals around what is “good” versus “bad” care through the marking of ethnic and professional boundaries.
