Riassunto

Through passionate narrative, poetry, and family pictures, Señor Ramon Ledesma shares stories and memories of life on the road and in the labor camps of his youth. He talks about his hard-as-nails papa, a man he feared but also one who taught him to love the land and respect hard work. He writes poignantly about his mama, the woman who taught him about the transformative nature of dreams and the belief that those dreams would save him from the brutal life that had tragically killed four of his siblings.

Owning little more than the clothes on their backs, they lived in dilapidated shacks, working from sunup to sundown while they dreamed of better times and the safety of a piece of land, they could call home

Migrant Earth is historical and hopeful. Through his youthful voice, we learn about his family's origins, what they experienced, and the long journey of hope that shaped what he and his siblings ultimately became. In our country's contentious debate over immigration policy, Migrant Earth is an essential reading. It shares the subculture of migrant workers in the 1940s and 1950s that is still relevant in present-day America.
