The Bracero program was America’s first and largest documented guest worker program. These portraits show the men 50 years later. As America grapples with immigration reform, the experiences of these men speak loudly to the pitfalls of any guest worker program and mistakes that should NOT be repeated.
A book documenting this award-winning and widely shown documentary photography project is now available for purchase (and preview) in 3 formats: Coffee-table 12”x12”, compact 7”x7”, and eBook. Or take a look at a video I created early on in the project or another video that features the images in a respectful music video created by the group Los Cenzontles.
