The Harvest Gypsies by John Steinbeck
A vivid, sympathetic journalistic account of Dust Bowl migrants who flock to California in search of seasonal work, exposing brutal poverty, exploitative labor practices, squalid camps, disease, police harassment, and the indifference of landowners and local authorities; it combines personal stories and hard data to reveal systemic failures and argues for organized labor, public relief, and humane reforms.
