Migratory Workers of the Southwest: Migratory Cotton Pickers in Arizona, 1939, the Pecan Shellers of San Antonio, 1940 and Mexican Migratory Workers of South Texas, 1941

by Selden Cowles Menefee

The three studies contained in this book focus on migrant labor during the last years of the Great Depression. Mexican Migratory Workers of South Texas and The Pecan Shellers of San Antonio describe the life styles and working conditions of Mexican and Mexican-American workers; Migratory Cotton Pickers in Arizona is concerned primarily with Texas and Oklahoma workers--many of them displaced by the Dust Bowl drought.
