"American photographers have been fascinated by the lives of California farmworkers since the time of the daguerreotype. From the earliest Gold Rush-era images and the documentary photographs taken during the Great Depression to digital images today, photographers and farmworkers in California have had a complicated and continuously changing bond. In Everyone Had Cameras, Richard Steven Street provides a comprehensive history of the significant presence of California farmworkers in the visual culture of America."--Back cover.
