Reichman tells the story of a remote village in Honduras that transformed almost overnight from a sleepy coffee-growing community to a hotbed of undocumented migration to and from the United States. The small village—called here by the pseudonym La Quebrada—was once home to a thriving coffee economy. Recently, it has become dependent on migrants working in distant places like Long Island and South Dakota, who live in ways that most Honduran townspeople struggle to comprehend or explain. Reichman explores how the new "migration economy" has upended cultural ideas of success and failure, family dynamics, and local politics.</p> <P> During his time in La Quebrada, Reichman focused on three different strategies for social reform—a fledgling coffee cooperative that sought to raise farmer incomes and establish principles of fairness and justice through consumer activism; religious campaigns for personal morality that were intended to counter the corrosive effects of migration; and local discourses about migrant "greed" that labeled migrants as the cause of social crisis, rather than its victims. All three phenomena had one common trait: They were settings in which people presented moral visions of social welfare in response to a perceived moment of crisis. <em>The Broken Village</em> integrates sacred and secular ideas of morality, legal and cultural notions of justice, to explore how different groups define social progress.</p> 02 Daniel R.

The book's title evokes the twin dislocations of economic globalization affecting the village—the volatility of coffee markets following the demise of the International Coffee Agreement in 1989 and the upswing in global human migration in the two decades that followed. The book examines migration, religion, and coffee-planting strategies as various potential coping mechanisms for dealing with these dislocations. . . . Reichman writes briskly and well, making this book useful in undergraduate courses exploring globalization."—<em>Choice</em> (October 2012)</p> 08 <p>"<em>The Broken Village</em> is an ethnography that is told with verve and momentum and captures virtually everything that is currently happening in rural Latin America. It takes us through all the bizarre and fascinating ways in which rural people have responded to neoliberal globalization. In showing us why the ethnography of a particular place is so useful for understanding a world in constant flux, Daniel R. Reichman makes a powerful case for why anthropology still matters."—Steve Striffler, Professor and Doris Zemurray Stone Chair in Latin American Studies at the University of New Orleans, author of <em>Chicken: The Dangerous Transformation of America's Favorite Food</em></p> 08 <p><br /> "This is an excellent book. Daniel R. Reichman uses small-town Honduras to give us a big-picture ethnography. At once compassionate and incisive, impressively researched and well written, <em>The Broken Village</em> is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand America, in its largest meaning, today."—Greg Grandin, author of <em>Fordlandia</em></p> 04 03 72 01 http://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/resources/titles/80140100986110/images/80140100986110L.jpg 07 03 72 01 http://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/resources/titles/80140100986110/images/80140100986110S.jpg http://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/?GCOI=80140100986110 ILR Press 01 02 2021862 Cornell University Press Ithaca US 04 20111020 01 WORLD 01 9 in 02 6 in 08 10 oz 07 2021862 CUP Services http://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu 02 CA MX US BV AL AD AM AU AT AZ BY BA BG HR CY CZ DK EE FO FI GE DE GI GR HM HU IS IE MK IT PS KZ LV LI LT LU UM MT MC ME NL NZ NO PG PL PT RO RU SM AX SK SI ES SJ SE CH TR UA GB VA 02 Y 21 24 01 02 x 65.00 USD 06 5013546051314 NBN International http://www.nbninternational.com 02 BV AL AD AM AT AZ BY BE BA BG HR CY CZ DK EE FO FI FR GE DE GI GR HM HU IS IE MK IT PS KZ LV LI LT UM MT MD MC ME NL NO PL PT RO RU SM AX SK SI ES SJ SE CH TR UA GB VA AU CA JP MX US NZ PG 02 Y 20 20111020 24 01 02 x 02 40.50 GBP
