This well-preserved 1960 edition of “White Harvest” by Lela and Lewis Waltrip offers a captivating window into the lives of migrant farm workers in mid-20th century America. Published at the height of the Civil Rights Movement, this sociological study shines a light on the harsh realities faced by these marginalized communities, often overlooked in mainstream narratives. Through meticulous research and vivid accounts, the Waltrips document the cycle of poverty, exploitation, and discrimination endured by migrant laborers as they followed the harvest trails across the nation. This book serves as a powerful testament to the resilience of these workers and a poignant call for social justice. Collectors of vintage sociology texts and works exploring the American experience will find this copy a valuable addition, bearing the patina of its era while remaining in remarkably good condition.
