Synopsis:
Set during the Great Depression, the novel follows the Joad family—tenant farmers driven from their Oklahoma home by drought, debt, and the Dust Bowl—as they travel west along Route 66 to California seeking work and dignity. Along the way they encounter hunger, hostility toward migrants, and exploitation by powerful landowners and corrupt labor systems. Through the family’s hardship and acts of solidarity, the story explores poverty, displacement, collective action, and the struggle to preserve humanity amid injustice.
