520 "Every year from April to October, the Sánchez family
traveled--crowded in the back of trucks, camping in
converted barns, tending and harvesting crops across the
breadth of the United States. 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
