CITATION INDEX: Exciting news! So Rachel gets interviewed by Voice of America, and I... well, I get to find out that an article I wrote three years ago on migrant child labor is being used as an example of bibliographic citations in a Californian college. Hey, you take your breaks where you can get 'em. (And note to Kev: this is part one of the good coverage of California that you'd been asking for from out here on the east coast....)

A student hit me up for "showing bias because [I make] you feel bad for these children." Also, it's a non-scholarly item, since it wasn't hard to read....

The author of this piece is Patrick Belton. The publisher is the Peace Review Journal. It was written in 2000, but the there was so much information. The information does show bias because it makes you feel bad for these children and get mad at the government for not doing anything. It then later states how you can avoid all these foods that are picked by children. So it is biased it's just not as aggressive as other books and articles are. No advertising here. The only topic covered is that we are not aware children are working for the food that we eat and how these children's lives are. It offers information on just one region. It doesn't go all over the place and not make anything specific. This is a non-scholarly item because it just doesn't seem too hard to read. In fact, it's very easy to read. This is a secondary source because to get this information he had to go out there and talk to these children.

Thanks, Jessica! Next time I'll be more scholarly, I promise.
