Bittersweet Harvest: The Bracero Program, 1942-1964

By TRACEY ROBINSON

Learn more about Hispanic heritage and history by visiting our research guide to the Bracero Program. Facing labor shortages on the home front during World War II, the United States initiated a series of agreements with Mexico to recruit guest workers for American farms and railroads. The Emergency Farm Labor Program, more familiarly known as the Bracero Program, enabled approximately 2 million Mexicans to enter the United States. While the work was often grueling, the program offered participants economic opportunity. The contributions made by these laborers have had significant impact on the political, economic, and social climate of both the United States and Mexico.

“Bittersweet Harvest: The Bracero Program, 1942-1964” is a set of six bilingual posters with images and interviews by documentary photographer Leonard Nadel. The goal of the exhibition is to celebrate the impact and achievements of migrant farmworkers by telling the stories behind the Braceros. “Bittersweet Harvest: The Bracero Program, 1942-1964” was organized by the National Museum of American History in partnership with the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, and received federal support from the Latino Initiatives Pool, administered by the Smithsonian Latino Center.

View the online Smithsonian exhibition.

Celebrate National Library Week: Find Your Place in . . . Fantasy

By TRACEY ROBINSON

Celebrate National Library Week with the TCC Libraries! We have something for everyone!

The Fantasy Genre

The fantasy genre is sometimes relegated to children’s literature by those who don’t read it, but fantasy spans the full range of age groups. Fantasy novels often feature complex world-building, and some use fictional worlds to explore a wide range of real-life problems. Check out our ebooks for a taste of fantasy!

  • Black Leopard, Red Wolf by Marlon James is a dark fantasy which incorporates African mythology into a mismatched group of outsiders’ hunt for a missing boy.
  • The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien had an influence on modern fantasy which cannot be overestimated. This is classic fantasy literature.
  • A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin is for those of you who like a good dose of politics with your dragons. Extensive world-building and strong characters make this a must-read for fantasy fans.
  • Interview with the Vampire by Ann Rice bridges horror and fantasy and was one of the key books to bring vampires to the popularity they enjoy today.
  • The Lady of the Lake by Anderzej Sapkowski is one of the Wicher books popularized by the videogames and the new Netflix series. Since this ebook is free to TCC students, you don’t have to toss a coin to your Witcher.

National Library Week continues at the other TCC libraries! Check out the latest posts!

Celebrate National Library Week: Find Your Place in . . . Romance

By TRACEY ROBINSON

National Library Week graphic

Celebrate National Library Week with the TCC Libraries! Everyone is welcome at a library. While we are sheltering at home, let us help you find your place.

The Romance Genre

According to the Romance Writers of America, every romance novel has two characteristics: it centers around a relationship and has an emotionally satisfying ending. Romance can include aspects of other genres such as suspense, fantasy, or historical.

Need a happiness fix? Try these ebooks:

  • Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte: Part romance and part gothic mystery,  Jane Eyre is refreshingly modern for a Victorian heroine. Plus, you can imagine sheltering in place on a foggy moor.
  • The Wedding Party by Jasmine Guillory: Remember leaving the house and interacting with people? Go back to those days with Maggie and Theo as they navigate their love-hate relationship amid their mutual friend’s wedding preparations.
  • Persuasion by Jane Austen: Has Anne Elliott lost her chance at happiness after she let herself be persuaded against marrying The One? Persuasion is a bittersweet romance written to make even the most world-weary reader smile.
  • The Fault in Our Stars by John Green: You know going into this that it will be tearjerker, but sometimes love is worth it.
  • The Bride Next Door by Hope Ramsay: The heroine is a wedding planner who overhears a hotshot lawyer making a bet about her and decides to play along. Sometimes you don’t have to overthink it.

Want another way to bring happiness to your life? Try volunteering! Check out the South Campus Library’s blog for ideas.
