What is The wetback about?
"Within these pages is the moving story of the migratory workers of the southwest, the people who live by following the crops, and never live in one place long enough to call it home. This is the story of the Mexican, and the American migrant works of Anglo, Spanish, and colored stock who have been segregated both economically and socially. This is the story of the Mexican wetback, whose illegal entry into this country has undermined the entire structure of the migratory worker, who, today, is forced to live on relief, and in squatter camps, unbelieverable, in a land of plenty. Here is the story of a nomadic people, their dreams, their loves, their ambitions, and their pitiful flight. " --Dust jacket
