Examines in English and Spanish the lives of migrant workers moving from south Texas up through the Plains, and the experiences of all ages and sexes. Nos presenta la vida de los campesinos de Texas durante la década de 1950 con todos sus pesares y alegrías. El narrador es un joven perdido en las sombras de la explotación laboral y la mistificación de su vida por las instituciones de la sociedad.
