Oral History Project: United Farm Worker Movement in the Coachella Valley Summary "The past decades have borne witness to the United Farm Workers' (UFW) tenacious hold on the country's imagination. Since 2008, the UFW has lent its rallying cry to a presidential campaign and been the subject of no less than nine books, two documentaries, and one motion picture. Yet the full story of the women, men, and children who powered this social movement has not yet been told. Based on more than 250 hours of original oral history interviews conducted with Coachella Valley residents who participated in the UFW and Chicano Movement, Filipino farm workers, bracero workers, and UFW volunteers throughout the United States, this stirring history spans from the 1960s and 1970s through the union's decline in the early 1980s"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record and online resource (JSTOR, viewed February 22, 2023) Subject United Farm Workers of America -- History -- 20th century SUBJECT United Farm Workers of America fast Subject Strikes and lockouts -- Agricultural laborers -- California -- Coachella Valley -- History -- 20th century Agricultural laborers -- Labor unions -- California -- Coachella Valley -- History -- 20th century Chicano movement -- California -- Coachella Valley -- History -- 20th century Mexican American agricultural laborers -- California -- Coachella Valley -- History -- 20th century Filipino American migrant agricultural laborers -- California -- Coachella Valley -- History -- 20th century POLITICAL SCIENCE / Labor & Industrial Relations Agricultural laborers -- Labor unions Chicano movement Filipino American migrant agricultural laborers Mexican American agricultural laborers Strikes and lockouts -- Agricultural laborers Economics.
