The Grapes of Wrath attempts to show the difference between groups of people and characters in terms of race, class and religion, which are discussed in this article . . The Okies' racial status as Anglo-Americans seemed to distinguish them from other immigrant workers. Steinbeck uses their whiteness to further enhance his good fortune. The articles in “Harvest Gypsies” highlight the migrants’ Anglo-Saxon heritage: their names “show that they are of English, German and Scandinavian origin.” For those families living in provincial areas, with names like “Munns, Holbrooks, Hansens, Schmidts,” the majority rule system “was not only conceivable, but it was inevitable” (Hicks, 1939). Steinbeck announces that "this new breed" is in California forever, unlike past gatherings of migrants who were extradited when they were no longer within reach; therefore, he predicts, the state will have to adapt its framework accordingly. Since they are Americans, "the old habits of coercion, poverty wages, imprisonment, beatings and intimidation will not work." The Grapes of Wrath challenges working-class readers to unite with the working population, the subjects of the story, asserting that the desolations of capital accumulation are felt throughout society, even more acutely on penniless migrant workers. Grapes of Wrath is both a laudable radical investigation into the abuses of horticultural workers and the high points in the thirties of verifiable racism focusing on white people as victims. The novel barely specifies the Mexican and Filipino migrant workers who commanded California's fields and plantations until the late 1930s, instead implying that the Anglo-Saxos... middle of paper ... save that unionization could be carried out, Steinbeck recommends the creation of a "temporary work committee", which could finally resemble the employment rooms of the longshoremen and which could also set the conditions of remuneration. At the same time, the state will begin prosecuting “dangerous fascist rallies,” involving associated farmers, under the same criminal laws against unionism used against labor organizing. Finally, Steinbeck asserts that filtering change will require "an aggressive and vigilant association of individuals from the white-collar class, laborers, instructors, skilled workers, and liberals to combat the fascist forces and support this State in an equitable structure". He warns that if these changes are not made, the Okies could turn into "an armed force driven by poverty and a disdain to take what they need." ».."
