In this landmark work of photo-journalism, activist and
photographer David Bacon documents the experiences of some of the
hardest-working and most disenfranchised laborers in the country:
the farmworkers who are responsible for making California
"America's breadbasket." Combining haunting photographs with the
voices of migrant farmworkers, Bacon offers three-dimensional
portraits of laborers living under tarps, in trailer camps, and
between countries, following jobs that last only for the harvesting
season. He uncovers the inherent abuse in the labor contractor work
system, and drives home the almost feudal nature of laboring in
America's fields. Told in both English and Spanish, these are the
stories of farmworkers exposed to extreme weather and pesticides,
injured from years of working bent over for hours at a time, and
treated as cheap labor. The stories in this book remind us that the
food that appears on our dinner tables is the result of
back-breaking labor, rampant exploitation, and powerful resilience.
