The slogan Yes, we can in the form Si, Se Puede doesn t originate
with Barack Obama s 2008 presidential campaign. It goes back more
than four decades to the heyday of the United Farm Workers, an
organization that at its height won many labor victories, secured
collective bargaining rights for California farmworkers and became
a major voice for the Latino community, which was previously
excluded from national politics. The UFW was once a transformative
political force of a kind now largely lost in contemporary
America.Trampling Out the Vintage is the authoritative account of
the rise and fall of the United Farm Workers and its famous and
controversial leader, Cesar Chavez. Drawing on many years of
interviews with farmworkers, organizers, friends and opponents of
the UFW Frank Bardacke tells a story of collective action and
political power rich in evocative detail and stirring human
interest. Beginning with the influence of Saul Alinsky and Catholic
Social Action at the union s founding, through the UFW s thrilling
triumphs in the California fields, the drama concludes with the
debilitating internal struggles that left the union a shadow of its
former self.A vivid rendering of farm work and the world of the
farmworker, Trampling Out the Vintage is a dramatic reappraisal of
the political trajectory of Cesar Chavez and the United Farm
Workers, and an essential reevaluation of their most tumultuous
years.
