About the Book

En 1971, Bruce Neuburger, joven, sin trabajo y radicalizado por las luchas de los Derechos Civiles y los movimientos revolucionarios de la década de 60s, consiguió empleo como trabajador agrícola en el Valle de Salinas, California.

El viaje comienza en un momento notable, después del nacimiento de la Unión de trabajadores agrícolas (UFW) y el consiguiente aumento en la militancia de los trabajadores campesinos. Una huelga poderosa estalla en 1970 y convierte ese fértil valle en un campo de batalla entre los trabajadores y los rancheros. Lo que comienza como un trabajo temporal se convierte en una década de lucha y de duro trabajo al lado de los trabajadores inmigrantes que alimentan la nación.

Como participante en los esfuerzos de organizar y protestar en el campo, de las huelgas y boicots, Neuburger experimenta personalmente el movimiento de los trabajadores agrícolas que sacude al sistema racista del apartheid en los campos de California--y las fuerzas que convergen para controlar y destruir ese movimiento.

Parte autobiografía, parte informado comentario del trabajo agrícola, el movimiento laboral de Estados Unidos, la economía política de la agricultra y la corriente revolucionaria de la época, Guerras de Lechuga es un relato escrito desde la perspectiva de los campos. Neuburger retrata a la gente que se encuentra, obreros campesinos, companeros radicales, los jefes de empresa, policías y matones de la granja, vivo e indeleble, dando un aspecto humano, a veces humorístico, a menudo dramático, al conflicto entre capital y trabajador en los campos de California de la década de los 1970s.
