Description:


A compelling portrayal by the veteran journalist of the lives of farming communities on either side of the U.S.-Mexico border and the surprising connections between them100% DemocracyIn the Midwest, Mexican workers have become critically important to the survival of rural areas and small towns—and to the individual farmers who rely on their work—with undocumented immigrants, mostly from Mexico, accounting for an estimated 80 percent of employees on the dairy farms of western Wisconsin.

In Milked, former editor-in-chief of The Progressive Ruth Conniff introduces us to the migrants who worked on these dairy farms, their employers, among them white voters who helped elect Donald Trump to office in 2016, and the surprising friendships that have formed between these two groups of people. These stories offer a rich and fascinating account of how two crises—the record-breaking rate of farm bankruptcies in the Upper Midwest, and the contentious politics around immigration—are changing the landscape of rural America.

A unique and fascinating exploration of rural farming communities, Milked sheds light on seismic shifts in policy on both sides of the border over recent decades, connecting issues of labor, immigration, race, food, economics, and U.S.-Mexico relations and revealing how two seemingly disparate groups of people have come to rely on each other, how they are subject to the same global economic forces, and how, ultimately, the bridges of understanding that they have built can lead us toward a more constructive politics and a better world.

Amazing!
Format: Board book
I love this book. It's a great book for children with speech issues to use to practice, and it is terrific for early literacy. The story is super cute, and the pictures are awesome. Literally, the only thing that could be improved is if the faces of the parents were shown in all the pages. I don't understand why they are cut off on several pages. Otherwise, I highly recommend!

Definitely toddler and younger
Format: Kindle
This books is cute and has a ton of repetition. It’s very simple and sweet - but it says baby-3 years of age and I think 2.5 and under is the highest age I’d go. My three year old got bored after two readings, so we’re going to give it to her little cousin. Love that it’s a board book so it will stand up to tiny hands!

Adorable and useful!
Format: Kindle
Great for early language and sounds. As a mom and a special education teacher I love this book. Very sweet and enjoyable for a little one. But most importantly, written by a speech pathologist with all of the so important early sounds.

Great book for pre reading skills and communication, but poor quality, especially for price
Format: Board book, Format: Board book
My 2 year old grandson loves this book. He has memorized the words from each page and loves to point to different things on each page, when asked, and add his own commentary like “puppy is sleeping”. The only reason for minus 1 star is quality of book. Even though it’s a board book, the pages are peeling. Almost took 2 stars off, but it’s a really good book. However, I’m not sure what good it will be when the pictures peel off the page and we have no content to read. I would like seller to contact me re: book falling apart.
