The Harvesters: The Story Of The Migrant People (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781104847562)

The Harvesters: The Story of the Migrant People is a book written by Louisa R. Shotwell that tells the story of the migrant workers who travel across the United States to harvest crops. The book is a historical account of the lives of these people, who often live in poverty and face discrimination and exploitation. Shotwell describes the challenges they face, such as finding work, housing, and healthcare, and the impact of their work on the American economy. The book also explores the social and political issues surrounding migrant labor, including the role of labor unions and government policies. Through personal stories and interviews, Shotwell provides a vivid and compelling portrait of the migrant experience, shedding light on a little-known but important aspect of American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
