A propos de cet article

xvi, 330 p. Illustrations. Map. Notes. Index. Foreword by Gary Soto. The companion volume to a 1997 PBS documentary, and a prime example of its genre. With veteran journalists Susan Ferriss ("San Francisco Examiner") and Ricardo Sandoval ("San Jose Mercury News") providing an exposition of the historical narrative, this account is filled out with first-person anecdotes and eyewitness accounts, news clips, photographs, and even letters home from migrant workers in a manner that successfully evokes the spirit, texture, and feel of the political and social context. The resulting pastiche provides a general-interest overview of the struggle to organize the nation's agricultural workers from the founding of the United Farm Workers in 1962 through Chavez's death in 1993. Good in good dust jacket. Price clipped. Paperclip impression on a couple of pages. DJ has slight wear and soiling. Hinges somewhat sprung. First edition. Stated. First printing [stated].
