United Farm Workers, newspaper, El Malcriado

El Malcriado, “The Voice of the Farmworker," was a newspaper for the farmworker community in California’s Central Valley, an essential medium to communicate activities, concerns, and union updates for the United Farm Workers. It was provided to the union members free of charge, but also offered subscriptions and could be bought at local stores throughout the Central Valley in California. In issue number 4, the cover depicts a print from artist Andrea Gomez. The image was made in Mexico City, Mexico in 1952. This particular image and artist was chosen because she was a descendant from a famous revolutionary family, as described in the second page of this edition. Therefore, the artist, like several of the farmworkers, were descendants of the Mexican Revolution.
