Summary

Colonial Migrants at the Heart of Empire is the first in-depth look at the experiences of Puerto Rican migrant workers in continental U.S. agriculture in the twentieth century. The Farm Labor Program, established by the government of Puerto Rico in 1947, placed hundreds of thousands of migrant workers on U.S. farms and fostered the emergence of many stateside Puerto Rican communities. Ismael García-Colón investigates the origins and development of this program and uncovers the unique challenges faced by its participants.A labor history and an ethnography, Colonial Migrants evokes the violence, fieldwork, food, lodging, surveillance, and coercion that these workers experienced on farms and conveys their hopes and struggles to overcome poverty. Island farmworkers encountered a unique form of prejudice and racism arising from their dual status as both U.S. citizens and as “foreign others,” and their experiences were further shaped by evolving immigration policies. Despite these challenges, many Puerto Rican farmworkers ultimately chose to settle in rural U.S. communities, contributing to the production of food and the Latinization of the U.S. farm labor force.

    This second edition expands the provocative analysis of the racist colonial dynamics at play in philanthropy and finance into other sectors and offers practical advice on how anyone can be a healer. 
     
    The world is out of balance. With increasing frequency, we are presented with the inescapable truth that systemic racism and colonial structures are foundational principles to our economies. The $1 trillion philanthropic industry is one example of a system that mirrors oppressive colonial behavior. It's an industry whose name means “the love for humankind,” yet it does more harm than good.  
     
    In Decolonizing Wealth, Edgar Villanueva looks past philanthropy's glamorous, altruistic façade and into its shadows: white supremacy, savior complexes, and internalized oppression. Across history and to the present day, the accumulation of wealth is steeped in trauma. How can we shift philanthropy toward social reconciliation and healing if the cornerstones are exploitation, extraction, and control?  
     
    Drawing from Native traditions, Villanueva empowers individuals and institutions to begin to repair the damage through his Seven Steps to Healing. In this second edition, Villanueva adds inspiring examples of people using their resources to decolonize entertainment, museums, libraries, land ownership, and much more. 
     
    Everyone can be a healer and a leader in restoring balance-and we need everyone to do their part. As Villanueva writes, “All our suffering is mutual. All our healing is mutual. All our thriving is mutual.” Are you ready?

    Organizational life is fraught with problems: turf wars,  conflict between departments, lack of vision, poor  executionthese so-called people problems are  knotty and often incomprehensible and claim a startlingly large  portion of our energy. Its not the numbers or the  vicissitudes of the market that leads to sleepless nights, but the  political, cultural and people issues that worry leaders most. The  peculiar thing about these habitually dysfunctional ways of working  is that while everyone involved is vaguely aware that something is  broken, they cant pinpoint exactly what lies behind the  dysfunction.  In The Courage to Choose, consultant Chatham Sullivan  reveals that beneath these messy people issues is, in  fact, a basic business problem: the organization hasnt  formed a clear answer to the most fundamental question, What  business are we in? The purpose and identity of the  organization itself is in crisis. Are we an innovation business or  an execution business? Are we designed to play this role in the  market or that one? Do we compete on this capability or that?  When the ultimate purpose of the business has been obscured in  an identity crisis, leaders must take a stand to restore its  clarity. Taking a stand isnt just a cognitive move. The work  demands an incisive understanding of the business, yes, but more  critically an abiding sense of responsibility for the organization  and the courage to make a move towards clarity even in the face of  difficult strategic choices that are fraught with complex  political, personal and cultural dynamics.  In this groundbreaking book that bridges the gap between  strategy and leadership, Sullivan shows that rather than avoiding  the underlying anxiety that disturbs the business, the mature  leader moves toward it and positions it in the foreground. He  describes the ubiquitous problem of identity crisis, explains how  to identify it where it occurs, an offer a path for leaders to take  a decisive stand.
