Book Description:
|
As exploited and colonized people, California farmworkers have attracted such overwhelming photographic scrutiny that their story cannot be told or understood without engaging the photographic dimension. With 246 compelling black and white photographs, this book chronicles and cuts through layers of ignorance and indifference, forcing the viewer to reflect on the subservience of an entire class of people.
