Bay Shrimpers of Texas Rural Fishermen in a Global Economy

"To read this book is to spend a day on a 40-foot shrimp boat in a southern Texas bay, then return home to an isolated port town whose economy revolves around shrimping and whose future is in jeopardy. Often reading like a good novel, Maril's political economy of the Texas shrimp industry is written by someone who knows the inner workings of the industry and the communities that depend upon it. A rich and highly engaging study of the industry". -- Contemporary Sociology.Maril, Robert L. is the author of 'Bay Shrimpers of Texas Rural Fishermen in a Global Economy' with ISBN 9780700607037 and ISBN 070060703X.
