Course Description

John Steinbeck’s 1939 novel depicts the odyssey of the Joad family, displaced by the Great Dust Bowl and forced to give up their home to become migrant farm workers. Steinbeck based the novel in part on a series of articles he wrote as a reporter visiting the migrant camps in California. His portrayal of the struggles of these workers to preserve their dignity in the face of desperate poverty and tragedy is timeless.
