What is Dehumanization in the Bracero Program about?

This document summarizes the history of the Bracero Program, a guest worker program between the US and Mexico from 1942-1964. It describes how bracero workers were promised good working conditions but often faced inadequate housing, poor food, and low pay. Historians debate whether the program benefited American farmers or exploited Mexican migrant workers. The program started as a wartime measure but continued for decades, with US agencies taking on increasing oversight of worker recruitment and placement.
