Review An invaluable contribution to the ethnography of agriculture in the United States. Great Plains ResearchThis richly researched and wellwritten book is valuable for many reasons Leon Ginsberg, University of South Carolina Journal of Sociology and Social Welfare Product Description In Oklahoma in the 1980s and 1990s, suicidenot accident as previously assumedwas the leading cause of agricultural fatalities among farmers. Men were five times more likely to die by suicide than by accident. What was causing these menbut not womento want to kill themselves? RamrezFerrero suggests that the root causes lie not in purely economic or personal factors but rather in the processes of modernization. He shows how cultural and social changes have a dramatic effect on men's identities as providers, stewards, and community members. Using emotions and gender as modes of analysis, he locates these men's stories in the wider context of American history, agricultural economics and politics, capitalism, and Christianity. About the Author Eric RamirezFerrero is currently a University of Michigan Population Fellow and senior program officer with HealthScope Tanzania in Dar es Salaam.
