- Abstract
"Labor's Outcasts: Migrant Farmworkers and Unions in North America, 1934–1966" by Andrew J. Hazelton is a book that examines the history of farm labor activism from the 1930s to the 1960s as a precursor to the United Farm Workers (UFW) movement led by Cesar Chavez. The book focuses on the efforts of the National Agricultural Workers Union (NAWU) and its organizers, H. L. Mitchell and Ernesto Galarza, to challenge the Bracero Program and advocate for farmworker justice. Hazelton also explores the cross-border approach to worker organizing and advocacy employed by the NAWU-NAWU. The book sheds light on the complex relationship between farm labor, the New Deal state, and corporate agriculture's exploitation of workers. It is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of migrant labor and unionism in twentieth-century North America.
