 abstract = {Thousands of migrant workers travel from Mexico and the Caribbean to Ontario every                year to assist Canadian farmers in their horticulture operations. These migrants                have become a structural necessity to the industry, ensuring growth and profits. I                propose that exploitative and coercive labour practices are legitimated and                sustained through cultural representations which identify migrants not only as                outsiders to the community and a cultural threat, but also as economic assets and                subordinate labour. A content analysis of the Ontario daily newsprint media between                1996 and 2002 reveals that the construction of offshore workers relies on coexisting                dualisms created on different geographical scales. These dualisms work in tandem to                produce a powerful and pervasive discourse of subordination.},
