520    At the outset of World War II, California agriculture 
       seemed to be on the cusp of change. Many Californians, 
       reacting to the ravages of the Great Depression, called 
       for a radical reorientation of the highly exploitative 
       labor relations that had allowed the state to become such 
       a productive farming frontier. But with the importation of
       the first braceros-guest workers from Mexico hired on an 
       emergency basis after the United States entered the waran 
       even more intense struggle ensued over how agriculture 
       would be conducted in the state. Esteemed geographer Don 
       Mitchell argues that by delineating the need for cheap, 
       flexible farm labor as a problem and solving it via the 
       importation of relatively disempowered migrant workers, an
       alliance of growers and government actors committed the 
       United States to an agricultural system that is, in 
       important respects, still with us. They Saved the Crops is
       a theoretically rich and stylistically innovative account 
       of grower rapaciousness, worker militancy, rampant 
       corruption, and bureaucratic bias. Mitchell shows that 
       growers, workers, and officials confronted a series of 
       problems that shapedand were shaped bythe landscape 
       itself. For growers, the problem was finding the right 
       kind of labor at the right price at the right time. 
       Workers struggled for survival and attempted to win power 
       in the face of economic exploitation and unremitting 
       violence. Bureaucrats tried to harness political power to 
       meet the demands of, as one put it, the people whom we 
       serve. Drawing on a deep well of empirical materials from 
       archives up and down the state, Mitchell's account 
       promises to be the definitive book about California 
       agriculture in the turbulent decades of the mid-twentieth 
       century.
