Review of 'Sal Si Puedes (Escape If You Can)' on Goodreads

4 stars

Great labor history, told journalistically visiting Cesar Chavez in the uncertain midst of 1968 grape harvest strikes and boycott, but bringing in immigration history, rebuttals to the violence of growers, and conflicts in a nonviolent struggle. Moments of HST cynical systemic humor too. Chavez presented as nearly saintly, glad every time he mentions Dolores Huerta it is with glowing praise too.
