Small-scale fishing, a house-hold based enterprise in Puerto Rico, rarely provides sufficient income for a family, but it anchors their culture and sense of themselves within that culture. Even when family members must engage in wage work to supplement house-hold income, they think of themselves as fishers. Liche typifies these wage workers: 'When he was quite young, he left the island to struggle in other lands, to work, to raise a family, to send home the money he earned. Ten, twenty, thirty years passed...during which he did not once fish or even see the ocean. But in a boat-building factory in New Jersey, in a bakery in the Bronx, on the production line of a chemical factory, on dozens of construction sites, every single day he made a mental review of the waters, the isles and cays ...and entertained no thought that was not related to his return.' "Fishers at Work, Workers at Sea" describes Puerto Rican fishing families as they negotiate homeland and diaspora. It considers how wage work affects their livelihoods and identities at home and how these independent producers move in and out of global commodity markets. Drawing on some 100 life histories and years of fieldwork, David Griffith and Manuel Valdes Pizzini have developed a complex, often moving portrait of the men and women who fiercely struggle to hang onto the coastal landscapes and cultural heritage tied to the Caribbean Sea. Author note: David Griffith is Professor of Anthropology and Senior Scientist at East Carolina University. He is the author of "Working Poor: Farmworkers in the United States" (Temple) and "The Estuary's Gift: An Atlantic Coast Cultural Biography". Manuel Valdes Pizzini is Professor of Anthropology and Sociology, Researcher at the Center of Applied Social Research, and Director of the University of Puerto Rico Sea Grant College Program at the University of Puerto Rico in Mayaguez.
