UPROOTED: Braceros in the Hermanos Mayo Lens, a mesmerizing compilation of impacting historical photos, serves as a double introduction: first, to a photographic collective that was the pioneer of photo-journalism in Mexico and, second, to Mexican images of the guest workers that have previously only been portrayed in this country through the lenses of American photographers.
Two scholars have plumped the rich Mayo Brothers archive in Mexico's Secretariate of Foreign Relations to select the photos represented here on one of the most controversial cross-cultural subjects of their time: the Bracero Program. This guest worker program was established during World War II to supply manpower to the agricultural fields, the railroads and some industrial sectors as long as the United States experienced labor shortages. Despite numerous and consistent abuses of the braceros, the program was extended various times, until 1964, and in its course established many of the employment and immigration patterns that are still with us and may be even more controversial today. This landmark coffee table book offers 83 historical photos and an introduction documenting their importance.
