Important & fascinating history of the California Grape Strike,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Delano: The Story of the California Grape Strike (Paperback)
The California Grape Strike, which started in 1965, was a watershed event for farm laborers in American history. This strike not only resulted in widespread organization of farm laborers, but it also catapulted Cesar Chavez into the limelight.
John Dunne was an observer and a participant in many of the activities during the strike period. This book is the culmination of his effort to recreate the event. The book is largely a memoir, with some analysis of Chavez's legacy and the importance of farm worker organization. Above all, it is an important source of material for anyone trying to understand 1960's labor history within the confines of Latin American/Chicano history or western history. Since this is primarily a memoir, there are no footnotes or sources included, nor is there a bibliography or an index - these are the only weakenesses of the book, and are not significant enough to detract from the importance of the subject matter.
