The Plum Plum Pickers

The Clasicos Chicanos/Chicano Classics series is intended to ensure the long-term accessibility of deserving works of Chicano literature and culture that have become unavailable over the years or that are in imminent danger of becoming inaccessible. Each of the volumes includes an introduction contextualizing the work within Chicano literature and a bibliography of works by and about the author. The series is designed to be a vehicle that will help in the recuperation of Raza literary history and permit the continued experience and enjoyment of our literature by both present and future generations of readers.

The Plum Plum Pickers is a social and proletarian novel that recreates the agricultural milieu where laborers are oppressed by landowners and their politicians, company executives, and groveling foremen.
