Abstract:
Of Mice and Men (1937) is a novella written by Steinbeck. He has expressed his strong concern for the impoverished and disadvantaged, particularly migrant labourers. He depicts believable individuals in this work to show a glorious past. He has been acquainted with the poor, notably migrant agricultural laborers, both American and Mexican, since arriving in California in the 1930s, and has written from their perspective. His main purpose is to provide a genuine portrait of these people. One of Steinbeck’s most recurring themes is loneliness. Every character in Of Mice and Men, for example, is

Abstract:
From the fields to our plates, much of our nation’s fresh produce comes from workers living in conditions steeped with injustice. They labor exhaustively in fields that burst with vegetables and fruit, yet subsist in constant hunger. Along with the struggle to obtain minimum wage, fair and safe working conditions, adequate housing, and health care, the excessive use of pesticides in the fields is a crucial issue of environmental justice as well. The effects of pesticides on the health of farmworkers and their families are scientifically proven to be both crippling and fatal. The pesticides con

Abstract:
For the past twenty years, academics and other social commentators have, by and large, shared the view that the phase of modernity through which we are currently passing is defined by two interrelated catalysts of change: the physical movement of people and the virtual movement of information around the globe. As we enter the second decade of the new millennium, it is certainly a timely moment to reflect upon the ways in which the prognoses of the scholars and scientists writing in the late twentieth century have come to pass, especially since—during the time this special issue has been in pre

Abstract:
Argues that Of Mice and Men is not only a tale of morality, but also a representation of the political themes found in In Dubious Battle and The Grapes of Wrath. Establishes that Steinbeck does not simply divorce himself from the labor themes of the other two books; rather he uses this novel as a representative account of the social events taking place in California during the 1930s. Examines aspects of the split hero as found in the novel's two main characters, George and Lennie, who resemble a dark rider coming into a ranch with nothing more than a dream of a better life.

Abstract:
César Estrada Chávez was born to the children of Mexican immigrants in a small Arizona town in 1927. He experienced discrimination from an early age. In school his teachers punished him for speaking Spanish, and his classmates teased him because of his ethnicity. At age ten he moved with his family to California, where they and hundreds of thousands of others sought work as migrant laborers. After serving in the U.S. Navy for two years during World War II, Chávez returned to California. In 1952 he began working for the Community Service Organization, where he gained his first experiences worki
