Description: 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 labor unions. This book of oral histories restores to visibility these workers by telling stories of hardship but also bravery solidarity and improvisation in California's farm fields. The majority of American produce is picked in California while workers there face wage theft and sexual harassment pesticide exposure and lack of healthcare the struggle to find affordable housing and the special risks endured by the undocumented - - as many as half of all farmworkers. The book also tells the story of a new generation of labor activists who are pressing for a national Bill of Rights for farmworkers.
