Although hoeing sugar beets with a short hoe was their specialty, they also picked oranges in California, apples in Washington, cucumbers in Michigan, onions and potatoes in Wisconsin, and tomatoes in Iowa. Winters they returned home to the Winter Garden region of South Texas. In 1951, Saúl Sánchez began to contribute to his family's survival by helping to weed onions in Wind Lake, Wisconsin. He was eight years old. Rows of Memory tells his story and the story of his family and other migrant farm laborers like them, people who endured dangerous, dirty conditions and low pay, surviving because they took care of each other. Facing racism both on the road and at home, they lived a largely segregated life only occasionally breached by friendly employers. Despite starting school late and leaving early every year and having to learn English on the fly, young Saúl succeeded academically. At the same time that Mexican Americans in South Texas upended the Anglo-dominated social order by voting their own leaders into local government, he upended his family's order by deciding to go to college. Like many migrant children, he knew that his decision to pursue an education meant he would no longer be able to help feed and clothe the rest of his family. Nevertheless, with his parents' support, he went to college, graduating in 1967 and, after a final display of his skill with a short hoe for his new friends, abandoned migrant labor for teaching. In looking back at his youth, Sánchez invites us to appreciate the largely unrecognized and poorly rewarded strength and skill of the laborers who harvest the fruits and vegetables we eat. A first-person portrait of life on the bottom rung of the food system, this coming-of-age tale illuminates both the history of Latinos in the United States and the human consequences of industrial agriculture."--Publisher's website. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Sánchez, Saúl,|d1943-|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n85141105 600 17 Sánchez, Saúl,|d1943-|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 2011336 650 0 Migrant labor|zUnited States|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008107729|vBiography.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001237 650 0 Emigration and immigration law.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85042790 650 0 Labor market.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh89000875 650 0 Mexican American families|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85084488|xSocial conditions.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2001008850 650 0 Mexican Americans|vBiography.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008107728 650 7 Migrant labor.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1020711 650 7 Emigration and immigration law.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/908736 650 7 Labor market.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/990036 650 7 Mexican American families.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1018975 650 7 Social conditions.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1919811 650 7 Mexican Americans|xBiography.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1425954 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026049 776 08 |iPrint version:|aSánchez, Saúl, 1943-|tRows of memory. |dIowa City : University of Iowa Press, [2014]|z1609382331 |w(DLC) 2013952704|w(OCoLC)863201328 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=713962|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
