About the Book
In testimonies from scores of maquiladora workers, campesinos, and indigenous communities from across Mexico, NAFTA FROM BELOW details the impact of free trade on those it has most severely affected. First-hand accounts of workers organizing for their rights, of farmers and indigenous peoples fighting to preserve their land, and of efforts north and south to build alternatives document the courage of ordinary people who dare to join together and stand up for decent work conditions, just salaries, a clean environment, and lives with dignity.
