Project description
This thesis studies the role of women farmworkers in organizing and mobilizing for the right to perform and the right to work in southern Morocco. It wants to understand the political role of women farmworkers by analyzing their relationships with unions, commercial farms, and the state. Furthermore, it researches how agrarian capitalism’s transformation, particularly the agribusinesses’ upsurge, impacts women agricultural workers’ political and material conditions.
