Mexican Americans and the Making of Community in Litchfield Park, 1916-1

This talk is based on 45 oral histories and hours of video documentation with Mexican Americans and Mexican immigrants that worked for Goodyear Farms and lived in "los campos" of Litchfield Park, Ariz., 1916-1986. This project documents the history of Mexican American agricultural workers and their families, chronicling the development of the camp communities, while capturing the memories and places special to the former residents of the Goodyear Farms camps.
