Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines US government intervention into the agricultural industry during the Great Depression with a particular focus on the impact on one of Americaâs most vulnerable communities: migrant sugar beet workers. The author analyzes the economic, social, and political factors that shaped the creation and implementation of the Jones-Costigan Act of 1934 and its successor policies in the Sugar Act of 1937. Through a study of government documents, contemporary publications, and extensive interviews with surviving workers, the author sheds light on the living and working conditions of sugar beet workers, the ways in which government policy impacted their lives, and the ways in which they responded to these initiatives. The book contributes to a more nuanced understanding of the New Deal, the history of US agricultural policy, and the historical experiences of an often-overlooked group of American laborers. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
