"Grounded in humanizing ethnographic research, Diseases Have No Eyes provides a compellingly honest approach to the history of the dangerous toll of industries throughout the state of California's rural areas. Direly needed, and poised to be a trailblazing book, Diseases Have No Eyes is an indispensable contribution demonstrating the various informed positionalities and strategies farmworkers, incarcerated people, environmental-justice mobilizers, and their families pursue when confronting health injustices."--Ana Elizabeth Rosas, Associate Professor of History and Chicano/Latino Studies at the University of California, Irvine "In this remarkable book, Sarah Rios offers a vivid ethnography of environmental suffering, unearthing how ordinary folks think, feel, and act amid everyday toxic assaults. Interdisciplinary and deeply granular, it brings readers into the lived textures of slow-motion harm while illuminating the often-invisible labor of grassroots activists who collectively struggle against widespread toxicity and its pernicious effects on minds and bodies."-- J avier Auyero, Joe R. and Teresa Lozano Long Professor of Sociology at the University of Texas at Austin and author of Patients of the State: The Politics of Waiting in Argentina.
