Farmworker Justice is pleased to announce the new book by photographer Rick Nahmias: The Migrant Project: Contemporary California Farm Workers, including an essay by our very own Executive Director, Bruce Goldstein!

The images in this book highlight the lives of the men and women who struggle to exist while literally feeding this country.  Countless words and studies over decades bemoan the plight of those who toil in the fields, but Rick Nahmias's pictures bring farm workers to us in an unforgettable way, taking us beyond stoop labor skills and into their intimate moments and inner lives.  Having traveled over four thousand miles to document California's migrant workforce, Nahmias's soulful images and incisive text go beyond one state's issues, illuminating the bigger story about the human cost of feeding America.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book go to benefit farmworkers' organizations, including Farmworker Justice.
