Fresh Fruit, Broken Bodies: Cheap Food and Hidden Structural Violence

Crisis in Perception · Jun 8, 2026 · 39m

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.

This episode explores Fresh Fruit, Broken Bodies by Seth M. Holmes as a systems-level analysis of agricultural labor, border enforcement, racial hierarchy, and medicalized inequality.

The discussion examines how cheap produce depends on hidden system dynamics: piece-rate incentives, labor vulnerability, institutional blindness, symbolic violence, and the externalization of bodily harm onto Indigenous Mexican migrant workers.
