Böcker av Richard Steven Street

A masterpiece of social documentary, this work is at once the biography of a photographer, an expose of poverty and injustice, and a celebration of the human spirit.

The work of nearly every photographer of consequence since the nineteenth century is captured in this collection of photographs of California farmworkers, raising moral questions about the exploitation and colonization of an entire class of people.

This is a definitive account of one of the most complex and strangely neglected stories in Western history - the emergence of migratory farmworkers and the development of California agriculture. Using more than 500 manuscript collections, the author spans 144 years of agricultural history.
