Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath" portrays the struggles of migrant farmers, including the Joad family, who are displaced from their Oklahoma farm during the Dust Bowl and travel to California seeking work. The novel sheds light on the harsh conditions faced by farmworkers in California, including exploitative labor practices, low wages, and poor living conditions. The Joads eventually find work on farms in places like Arvin, where they witness and experience the injustices prevalent in the agricultural industry at the time.
