While labeled again and again as 'anthropology' and self-described by the author as 'participant observation,' this is neither. It is social journalism compiled via interviews. Look, I KNOW senior Editor Rob Borofsky and I have been involved with the Public Anthropology Project; if anything, I am biased in favor of the dynamic. But as to the matter at hand, Horton does not live with the migrant workers, work in the fields beside them, employ with a contractor, nor fully immerse any of this in the culture of the Latinx workers (whether Mexican or Salvadoran). Further, her theoretical framework is a pastiche of postmodernist and sociological, allowing Bourdieu to carry the bulk of the load. These factors, coupled with the choppy writing and "oral report at a staff meeting" presentation make this fit for a legislative committee far more than an undergraduate classroom or a casual reader.
