Eating NAFTA, written by anthropologist Alyshia Gálvez, contains many interviews that expose the unseen effects of NAFTA. These interviews convey a level of personal experiences that are typically difficult to process through text. These interviews are conducted many years after NAFTA’s ratification, as to reveal the extent of the deal’s repercussions. Gálvez’s work illuminates a variety of consequences NAFTA produced, such as the fall of small businesses, rise of multinational corporations, and a poor diet. Eating NAFTA awards my research of NAFTA with a face to represent it.
