The introduction analyzes the competing visual cultures of agribusiness futurism and farm worker futurism in order to theorize what I call campesino modernity, a social formation based in the appropriation of visual technology to project alternate futures or even the possibility of the future as such for the poor and marginalized.

Keywords:   visual culture, agribusiness, futurism, farm worker, campesino modernity, projection, inequality, agricultural history
