Description

A vivid depiction of the early injustices encountered by a young Mexican-American girl in San Antonio within the 1920’s, this book tells the actual story of Emma Tenayuca. Emma learns to care deeply about poverty and hunger right through a time when many Mexican Americans were starving to death and dealing unreasonably long hours at slave wages within the city’s pecan-shelling factories. Through astute perception, worrying, and personal action, Emma begins to become involved, and in the end, on the age of 21, leads 12,000 workers within the first significant historical action within the Mexican-American struggle for justice. Emma Tenayuca’s story serves as a model for old and young alike about courage, compassion, and the role everyone can play in making the sector more fair.
