story of a lesser known component of the second world war the displacement of millions of refugees while it pales in comparison to the genocide the displacement of millions of refugees signified its

united states he spoke to nam health editor viji sundaram nam did you set out on this project as a purely anthropological endeavor but which later changed into something more holmes yes as i said in my book i set out as an anthropologist to do the classic field research method of participant observation with migrant farmworkers i wanted to learn about indigenous mexicans who come to the united states to work on our farms about their health issues and about how this group of people is perceived nam so how closely did you observe the indigenous farm workers holmes i started this research in rural washington state living in a labor camp and picking strawberries and blueberries along with them we next moved to the central valley of california to madera where we first lived homeless for a

sesshu reply whose parents are living in italy asked the teacher as she stood in front of a first grade class in cirpesti a small village in southeast moldova with a mixture of pride and embarrassment about 20 of the 30 children raised their hands i was shocked i knew the statistics on labor migration and remittances but the lives behind the numbers were staring me in the face as i stood in a cold leaky classroom and learned that it had been years since most of these six year olds had seen their parents who were working 2 000 kilometers away as cleaning ladies or harvest helpers this experience and others inspired me to continue my photography in moldova my images aim to look behind the statistics to reveal the impact of migration on families and society and ask how high a price parents and children pay for it moldova is the poorest country in europe forty percent of the people live below the poverty line meanwhile more than one third of the adult working population has left the country according to official estimates at least 690 000 of the 4 3 million moldovans are living and working abroad mostly in eu countries and in russia although the actual number varies according to different sources and probably exceeds one million that makes moldova one of europe s leading countries in labor migration the remittances that the migrant workers send home are a major factor in preventing the economy from collapsing yet labor migration has many downsides including a brain drain in which moldova s most active and educated people search for better economic opportunities abroad although many wind up working as unskilled laborers for low pay this work still brings more than what they could earn at home migration also contributes to the disintegration of families and has torn the social fabric of moldovan society whether in cities or the country there is hardly a family in which at least one parent is not working abroad in many cases the children remain in moldova and live with relatives acquaintances or even on their own they often don t see their parents for months or years continue reading posted in history justice labor people politics video women youth leave a
