Abstract
"Harvesting freedom: The life of a migrant worker in Canada" is a book that provides a first-person account of the experiences of a migrant farmworker in Canada. The book sheds light on the demanding and exploitative conditions faced by these workers, despite Canada's aim to address job vacancies through temporary migration programs. The author, Gabriel Allahdua, shares his personal journey from joining the Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAWP) to becoming an activist striving to reform Canada's farm labor system. The book also explores the historical and geopolitical context of Canada's labor migration policies and highlights the resilience and determination of the workers. [Extracted from the article]
