Enrique Arias Field Notes On Mexican Americans



Imperial Valley, California 1935. A Mexican family standing outside their small living space in the camp they worked in. Besides being small they were made out of just anything that could be found in the area. They were not the best place to be in and the family could barely fit inside the small house so they would rather spend most of their time outside the house. Besides it’s not like they had another choice because they could not go anywhere because they didn’t have any money to go anywhere. Times were already tough for Mexican farm workers but the Great Depression made it even worse for them.
