Lawrence ABSTRACT This study examines the role of the Bracero Program in the growth of Sonoma and Napa County viticulture in an attempt to understand how important bracero labor was to the industry. While most histories of the Bracero Program are nationwide or statewide in scope, this study explores the regional complexities of how and why the program was used in Sonoma and Napa Counties, how both the growers and laborers in the region felt about it, and how this was different from and similar to other regions. Government documents provided the statistics necessary to determine the demographic changes in the region due to the Bracero Program. Important primary source material that provided the human side of the story includes a number of oral history interviews I conducted, the collection of Wine Industry Oral Histories, and various regional newspaper articles.

  • Building Communities – Economics & Ethnicity
    Building Communities – Economics & Ethnicity Jennifer Helzer, California State University, Stanislaus Helzer, 1 Delta Protection Commission Delta Narratives (Revision Final) June 11, 2015 Building Communities – Economics & Ethnicity Jennifer Helzer, California State University, Stanislaus INTRODUCTION Approaching the Delta from the east, off of Interstate 5, the hurried and harried pace of life gives way to a gradual western sloping landscape of manicured fields. As the morning fog burns away, glimpses of old barns, field equipment, and neatly stacked fruit crates appear alongside the road. As one approaches town, heavy‐duty pick‐up trucks meet at the four‐way stop with their driver motioning for visitors to take the right‐of‐way. The post office and local coffee shop buzz with morning routines. A tour through the Delta carries visitors along levee roads, across iconic bridges and into culturally rich historic towns. Orchards and row crops expand from levee roads; and farmsteads and stately homes exist alongside ethnic heritage landscapes and new commercial developments. The communities of the Delta are places of the present and the past that are stitched together by a network of railroads, canals and levees, and by the open spaces that link them together. These are the first impressions of the Delta as a place and the start of many questions. What is the meaning of this place, who made this place and how has it changed through time? In the 1850s, powerful economic, political and social forces precipitated momentous change in the Delta region of California: 1) the California Gold Rush, 2) levee construction and agricultural development, and 3) the migration and settlement of domestic, European and Asian cultural groups.

  • 2007 Annual Report
    07 2007 ANNUAL REPORT NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES 3 CHAIRMAN’S LETTER The President The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. President: It is my privilege to present to you the 2007 annual report of the National Endowment for the Humanities. In September 2007, NEH’s We the People program celebrated its fifth anniversary. This year We the People continued to strengthen the teaching, study, and understanding of American history and culture through grants supporting hundreds of projects, including traveling library exhibitions on great Americans such as Benjamin Franklin; documentary films; summer workshops for school- teachers; and our annual We the People Bookshelf program for libraries. In 2007 NEH also launched the pilot phase of an exciting new We the People initiative called “Picturing America,” which seeks to put some of our nation’s artistic masterpieces and iconic images in our schools, where they will help students trace our national story and learn about America’s principles. We the People is also ensuring that the “first draft” of our history is widely available. In March, we joined our partners at the Library of Congress to announce the debut of the “Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers” website, featuring more than 226,000 pages of public domain newspapers from six states and the District of Columbia published between 1900 and 1910. Ultimately, the “Chronicling America” website will offer all Americans a free, searchable database of some thirty million pages of historic U.S. newspapers. As NEH worked this year to promote and preserve America’s cultural heritage, we also expanded our efforts to collaborate and exchange new ideas in the humanities with our peers in other nations.

A. Simpson, Chair (CSUS) Professor Randolph Bergstrom (UCSB) Professor Christopher J. Castaneda (CSUS) Professor Mary Hancock (UCSB) June 2009 The dissertation of Paul Jason Prescott Sandul is approved. _____________________________________________ Randolph Bergstrom, UCSB _____________________________________________ Christopher J. Castaneda, CSUS _____________________________________________ Mary Hancock, UCSB _____________________________________________ Lee M. A. Simpson, Committee Chair, CSUS June 2009 iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Many people helped me while I worked on my dissertation. Professors and faculty at California State University, Sacramento (CSUS) and University California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) at every point provided me with support and vital insights. Professors Mona Siegel and Harold Marcuse, for example, introduced me to memory studies while Professor Charles Postel took time to read early essays and drafts and make important suggestions. My committee members were, to be sure, especially important. Professor Christopher J. Castaneda, I swear, never leaves his office. Anytime I ever needed advice, council, or simply to talk, I could always find Professor Castaneda’s door open and, regardless of how busy he seemed, an open chair. He always provided keen insight, critical and helpful commentary, and, most important for a secluded graduate student, many lunches at a good restaurant. Professor Randolph Bergstrom first introduced me and guided my original inquires into the intersection of place, memory, and history. With the quickest and sharpest wit of any person I have ever known, his guidance was indispensable, his support unwavering, and direction always needed.

Procedure: This is an interdisciplinary study that uses the techniques of geography, history and cultural landscape studies, through oral histories, examination of material in the family archives and historic resources. Reading the landscape, that is looking at the land itself, reveals often ignored information about the family who lived on the land. The goal of my research is to determine the values and motivations as well as the activities of the Lewelling family. Findings: To a great extent, family farmers have been ignored by historians.
