This book is the product of an investigation that was carried out for four years with manual workers who provide services to sugar mills located in Valle del Cauca, Colombia. The text addresses the processes of flexibilization and precariousness of work and life of sugar cane cutters, deepened by the structural changes of the cluster, which by increasing superprofit, since 1959, as well as the ecological footprint and the Land grabbing does not consequently benefit agricultural workers, from policies of labor and social stability to them, but rather subjects them to the loss of work derived from the growing process of machining the harvest as well as labor massacres. and social that mark the life of the cane harvester. The study reveals the conditions of meaning of life and work of the harvesters, with an investigative and political purpose, to unmask the euphemisms and traps that the corporate system of the transnationalized sugar mills puts to manual labor. It then intends to form evidence of the physical and social disappearance of the cane cutters, a product of applied sociological analysis, which gives value to the statements made in the work and which in turn serves as socially valid information for decision-making leading to the dignity of the important role that agricultural workers contribute to an economic field as important as the production of sugar, ethanol and derivatives in Colombia.
