Figure 8.6 Plantation agriculture. This sign was erected by management at the entrance to a banana plantation in Costa Rica. “Welcome to Freehold Plantation, a workplace where labor harmony reigns; in mutual respect and understanding, we united workers produce and export quality goods in peace and harmony.” How does this message suggest that, in fact, not all is harmonious here and the tension of the two-class plantation system might simmer below the surface?
