Description
Winner, 2020 Outstanding Scholarly Contribution Award, given by the Children and Youth Section of the American Sociological AssociationWinner, 2020 Early-Career Book Award from the American Association of Hispanics in Higher EducationHow Latinx kids and their undocumented parents struggle in the informal street food economy Street food markets have become wildly popular in Los Angeles―and behind the scenes, Latinx children have been instrumental in making these small informal businesses grow. In Kids at Work, Emir Estrada shines a light on the surprising labor of these young workers, providing the first ethnography on the participation of Latinx children in street vending. Drawing on dozens of interviews with children and their undocumented parents, as well as three years spent on the streets shadowing families at work, Estrada brings attention to the unique set of hardships Latinx youth experience in this occupation. She also highlights how these hardships can serve to cement family bonds, develop empathy towards parents, encourage hard work, and support children―and their parents―in their efforts to make a living together in the United States. Kids at Work provides a compassionate, up-close portrait of Latinx children, detailing the complexities and nuances of family relations when children help generate income for the household as they peddle the streets of LA alongside their immigrant parents.

I heard about this book when I went to PSA (Pacific Sociological Association) in Oakland. When I met Emir Estrada, she was doing a presentation about social issues involving the LatinX communities. I could hear her passion for social justice and I was very excited that I had a chance to have a conversation with her about these issues. She later handed the group her flyers to promote her book. I was very eager to read this book because when I heard her speak I knew it was going to be a powerful, informative, and well researched book.When the book arrived, it was exactly what I had thought, an amazing read. Her concepts that she places in the book are thought out and contributes a key role in her research. The stories she gathers from her participants are fascinating but what interest me more is the data she was able to collect about how they are viewed from society. There are two different worlds these kids view and are apart of and that's what makes this research interesting.One of the most important thing to me as a reader is the writing style. Emir Estrada has a unique way of writing because instead of touching the same topic over and over, she actually stays on track of her research, but also gives more to the reader. All the chapters in the book are important pieces of information and they go into deep analysis to how society views these kids at work.Overall, great read! I can't wait to read another book in the near future that Emir Estrada writes.
