Download The Union of their Dreams: Power, Hope, and Struggle in Cesar Chavez's Farm Worker Movement AudioBook Free
A generation of Us citizens came old boycotting grapes, swept up in a activity that vanquished California's most effective industry and completed the unthinkable: dignity and agreements for farm personnel. Four years later, Cesar Chavez's likeness graces postage stamps, and dozens of schools and roadways have been renamed in his honor. However the real history of Chavez's plantation workers' activity - both its historical triumphs and its tragic disintegration - has remained buried beneath the hagiography. Pulling on a wealthy trove of original documents, tapes, and interviews, Miriam Pawel chronicles the go up of the UFW through the heady days and nights of civil protection under the law battles, the antiwar activity, and scholar activism in the 1960s and '70s. Through the fields, the churches, and the classrooms, hundreds were attracted to la causa by the charismatic Chavez, an excellent risk-taker who mobilized popular support for a commendable cause. But as Miriam Pawel shows, the UFW was ripped apart by the same man who built it, as Chavez proved struggling to make the move from activity icon to union leader. Pawel traces the lives of several key users of the crusade, using their reports to weave mutually a powerful portrait of a activity and the folks who managed to get. A tour de power of reporting and a spellbinding narrative, The Union of the Dreams explores an important and untold section in the annals of labor, civil protection under the law, and immigration in modern America.
