Hard work, stark conditions, and occasional moments of levity— these photographs of the bracero program, taken by Leonard Nadel, capture all that and more.
In 1942, facing labor shortages caused by World War II, the United States initiated a series of agreements with Mexico to recruit Mexican men to work on U.S. farms and railroads. Between 1942 and 1964, an estimated two million Mexican men came to the United States on short-term labor contracts through the bracero program, named after the term used in Mexico for a manual laborer. "When the U.S. needed it most, we came to serve the United States,” recalled former bracero José Ramírez Delgado, “When the U.S. needed it most, I was here." The bracero program was one of both exploitation and opportunity. Workers were able to send home money—but they earned that money through long hours of hard work, suffering through difficult and sometimes humiliating conditions on and off the fields.
