E27: Eating NAFTA: Circulating Avocados, NYC Tacos, Criminalized Migrant Labor, and Chronic Disease in Mexico with Lehman Prof. Alyshia Gálvez

This episode examines the adverse human costs of neoliberal globalization, particularly the impacts of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) on the lives of Mexicans and the food system. Drawing on her recently published work Eating NAFTA: Trade, Food Policies, and the Destruction of Mexico , Dr. Alyshia Gálvez—Professor of Latin American and Latino Studies at Lehman College, and Professor of Anthropology and the CUNY Graduate Center—illuminates the relationship between free trade, skyrocketing diet-related chronic illness in Mexico, and forced migration within and across borders. She also examines the connections between NAFTA's impacts and the rise of white nationalism in the United States and the expansive US immigrant detention system.
