Chasing the Harvest: Migrant Workers in California Agriculture

The lives of one of America’s invisible communities--migrant farmworkers

More than a million men, women, and children work in American agriculture, and yet their stories are rarely told, their low-wage jobs are not included in minimum-wage ordinances or campaigns, and their work remains unorganized by labour unions. This book of oral histories restores to visibility these workers, by telling stories of hardship but also bravery, solidarity, and improvization in California’s farm fields.
