Jessie De La Cruz: A Profile of a United Farm Worker

(4) YA Jessie De La Cruz, a migrant farmer, worked tirelessly with the United Farm Workers' Union to better conditions of her peers. Framed by personal interviews with De La Cruz, Soto's biography outlines her life but doesn't develop the larger context of her story: the non-resolution of the wrongdoings she struggled to correct. The integration of English and Spanish gives the text authenticity, as does a center section of black-and-white photos. Bib., ind.
