Migrant Farm

Migrant farm workers are characterized as transient in their quest for employment, poor by conditions not of their own choosing, and prone to excessive health risks. These are the people who work at providing many of the agricultural products which form the basis of the American diet. Yet their humbled circumstances do not keep them from engaging in risk behaviors that may lead to exposure to HIV, nor has their isolation kept them from contact with the myths and stories that have become an integral part of the legacy of AIDS.

As a photographer of the immigrant experience, the yearning for return to a homeland has been a central theme of my research. In this paper, I explore both my personal and collective experience of displacement and uprooting (Not Paved with Gold), the annual return to Canada of temporary migrant farm workers from Mexico and the Caribbean (Harvest Pilgrims), and the metaphorical return of Italian immigrants to a spiritual homeland through the annual re-enactment of the Via Crucis on the streets of Toronto’s Little Italy (Ritual). The paper poses the question of whether the immigrant, having abandoned his homeland, can truly return to it.
