Description

Known as “The Salad Bowl of the World,” California’s Salinas Valley was an agricultural empire as a result of the toil of diverse farmworkers, including Latinos. A sweeping essential history of how Mexican Americans and Mexican immigrants organized for their rights within the decades leading as much as the seminal strikes led by Cesar Chavez, this necessary work also looks closely at how different groups of Mexicans—U.S. born, bracero, and undocumented—confronted and interacted with one any other throughout this period.
 
An incisive study of labor, migration, race, gender, citizenship, and class, Lori Flores’s first book offers the most important insights for as of late’s ever-growing U.S. Latino demographic, the farmworker rights movement, and future immigration policy.
