Resumen

ATAIDE, Soraya. The construction of the migrant subject in public policies: A study of two municipalities of the east of Salta Province. Trab. soc. [online]. 2015, n.25, pp.295-312. ISSN 1514-6871.

In Salta Province, as well as in other Provinces of Argentina, Bolivian immigrants have inserted mainly in the horticulture activity, aimed to fresh consumption of vegetables for the local market. Particularly, in some areas of the Province, the presence of Bolivian immigrants in all the stages of production is observed. Some of them are currently producers (land owners or tenants). Within this group, there are people who have managed to capitalize their production and have in corporated modules or greenhouses, a pressurized irrigation system, and hybrid seeds; that is to say, they have introduced the use of technology making the difference with another group that develop "field production". In addition, and articulating with both groups, there are the farmhand and tenant workers from Bolivian origin too. In this scenario, this paper analyzes the ways in which the diverse public policies at national, provincial and local level related to the horticulture activity construct the immigrant subject. The study is carried out in two municipalities from the east of Salta Province. To this purpose, it is examined the political agenda of different public institutions; the actions taken as well as the public servants’ documents and discourses; the representativeness of the actors in the arenas where policies are shaped; and the perception of the immigrant worker present in them. In general, a tendency to make invisible the heterogeneity of roles of Bolivian immigrants in the horticulture activity is observed. In other words, the invisibility of them refers to the social class differences, and especially, the precarious labor condition of farmhand and tenant workers in this type of production.
