- Title
Power Models and the Farm Workers' Struggle: A Case Study of the Agribusiness vs. UFW Conflict.
- Authors
Walsh, Edward J.; Snyder, Robin
- Abstract
Power elite and pluralist frameworks are used to examine the conflict between farm workers and their employers, in California, from 1850 to 1977. Analysis focuses on four time periods which provide varying support for the contending frameworks. Assumptions and assertions of theorists in each camp are shown to be contradicted by some of the data in this case. We conclude by suggesting that a more accurate theoretical model of our national structure of power would emerge from a series of similar case studies of important national issues.
