Description
Excerpts from interviews with bracero workers including Eladio Banda Gutierrez, Pedro Madrid Estrada, Jesus Medina Paz, Marcelino Sifuentes Perez, Carlos Barajas Razo, Felix Topete Pena, Jose Trinidad Venegas Suarez, Santiago Arias Garcia, Juan Gomez Vega, and Felipe Ramirez Palma. These notes contain quotes or summaries of experiences with wage theft, poor housing conditions, poor health insurance, and abusive work practices during their time as bracero workers. Louie Tagaban was contracted to conduct interviews of bracero workers by Henry P. Anderson for his thesis on health attitudes of braceros. This object is from the personal papers of researcher Henry P. Anderson. The materials cover agricultural labor conditions, corporate agriculture and farm economy, pesticide use and effect on workers, agriculture-related legislation, farmer associations, and labor, religious and political organizing efforts to improve agricultural working conditions. The papers include extensive correspondence and news clippings, and Anderson’s doctoral research into the Bracero Program in California.
