Book excerpt: "Focusing on the history of Florida agriculture and its unique climate, ecology, crops, and working conditions, Riley and Johns distinguish the situation of Florida's farm laborers from those in other states.

Through intimate images and lucid text, Riley and John draw attention to a labor system greatly in need of reform."--Jacket.
