Annotation:
In the tradition of John Steinbeck, Tomas Rivera's portrait of a Mexican migrant family is a highly realistic look at a neglected underclass. Young Marcos works alongside his parents in the fields, enduring the scorching heat, the insulting pay, and the shameful living conditions; he must also cope with the prejudice he encounters in the local schools. Told as a series of short stories, this classic picture of hardship and exploitation has long been required reading for Hispanic teenagers--a sensitive coming-of-age tale that is also an exposé of something that is very wrong with America.
