Dark Sweat, White Gold: California Farm Workers, Cotton, and the New Deal Paperback - 1996

by Devra Weber


From the publisher

In her incisive analysis of the shaping of California's agricultural work force, Devra Weber shows how the cultural background of Mexican and, later, Anglo-American workers, combined with the structure of capitalist cotton production and New Deal politics, forging a new form of labor relations. She pays particular attention to Mexican field workers and their organized struggles, including the famous strikes of 1933.

Weber's perceptive examination of the relationships between economic structure, human agency, and the state, as well as her discussions of the crucial role of women in both Mexican and Anglo working-class life, make her book a valuable contribution to labor, agriculture, Chicano, Mexican, and California history.

First line

Sheltered in the middle of the state of California lies a two-hundred-mile valley called the San Joaquin.

From the rear cover

"Belongs on the same shelf as Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath and McWilliams' Factories in the Field."--David Montejano, University of Texas
