Abstract: This article challenges overly economistic, static, and homogenizing representations of contemporary economic restructuring through an in‐depth ethnographic case study of the central coast California strawberry industry in the post–World War II period. It demonstrates that restructuring is much more uneven in its incidence and complex in its motivation than usually portrayed, and that politics and human agency are at its core. Because of the place‐based nature of certain economic activity and the grounded experience of political process, its explication requires a sensitivity to space and place.
