Drawing on the voices of tomato industry workers, this paper offers a multi-sited ethnographic view of largely unrecognized practices in the conventional, field-grown, fresh-market wholesale tomato industry in the southeastern United States. Tomato industry workers—including agricultural cooperative extension agents, farmers, labor contractors, marketers, and harvesters—present their distinctive perspectives on production-exchange relations, shifting political economic identities, and what I call emerging redistributive practices found throughout a southeastern U.S. tomato circuit. I argue that two specific emerging redistributive practices take place while the tomatoes are technically still in the production stage in certain conventional tomato fields: (i) pinhooking and (ii) buying the field. Studying these practices helps us better understand the complexities of the southeastern U.S. tomato industry. By looking at tomato enterprises that plant, cultivate, harvest, transport, and/or market produce, this paper presents a body of evidence that counter-constructs the racialized stereotype concerning Mexicans and Mexican Americans’ contributions to agriculture in the southeastern United States. It shows how an ethnographically informed picture of a regional tomato industry circuit reveals commonly unrecognized features of social change, enterprise, production-exchange relations, and redistributive practices. It concludes by suggesting that these enterprise arrangements and practices could support the creation of more equitable regional food production systems.
借鉴番茄产业工人的声音，本文提供了一个多站点的民族志观点，主要是在美国东南部的传统，田间种植，新鲜市场批发番茄产业中未被认可的做法。番茄产业工人——包括农业合作推广代理人、农民、劳务承包商、营销商和收获者——对生产交换关系、不断变化的政治经济身份，以及我所谓的在美国东南部番茄循环中发现的新兴再分配实践，提出了他们独特的观点。我认为，当某些传统番茄田的番茄在技术上仍处于生产阶段时，就会出现两种具体的再分配做法:(I) pinhook和(ii) buy the field。研究这些做法有助于我们更好地了解美国东南部番茄产业的复杂性。通过研究种植、培育、收获、运输和/或销售番茄产品的番茄企业，本文提出了一系列证据，反驳了有关墨西哥人和墨西哥裔美国人对美国东南部农业贡献的种族化刻板印象。它展示了一个地区番茄产业循环的民族志信息图像如何揭示了社会变革、企业、生产交换关系和再分配实践中通常未被认识到的特征。报告最后建议，这些企业安排和做法可以支持建立更公平的区域粮食生产系统。

This article focuses upon a previously overlooked aspect of the “flesh-peddling” day labor business, widely recognized as the epitome of the precarious regime of employment. By physically stockpiling surplus labor to meet their clients’ immediate and unpredictable demands, day labor agencies inadvertently give rise to informal day labor markets outside their doors. Drawing upon ethnographic research carried out in the day labor agencies of Baltimore and Oakland, I examine how day laborers and agency dispatchers negotiate and navigate the practice of what I call “backdoor” hiring, wherein employers hire workers from, but not through, the agency. The struggles surrounding backdoor hiring not only challenge and complicate the binary division in the literature between formal and informal day labor, but reveal the dogged efforts of dispatchers to cultivate workers’ dependency, restrict their mobility, and curtail their labor-market freedom. This article thus contributes to the growing debate within anthropology and related disciplines about the conditions exacerbating unfreedom at the bottom of the labor market.
