Strike!: The Farm Workers' Fight For Their Rights

"Deceit, politics, bravery, courage, heroes and villains are all the makings of a great novel. However, this isn’t a work of fiction but the true story of the creation of the United Farm Workers. While most people may have heard of Mexican-American activist Cesar Chavez, lesser-known is the plight of a group of Filipino-American farmworkers who set off one of the longest and most effective strikes in the history of the United States. This meticulously researched narrative captures the atmosphere and intensity of the times with compelling text, photos and sidebars and brings the struggles of these brave men and women to life. (For ages 10 and up)"
