Scope and Contents
Interviews conducted by author Bruce Perry with leaders and associates of the Arizona Farm Workers Union (formerly known as
the Mariposa County Organizing Project) as well as the United Farmworkers' Jerry Cohen and others. These recordings were ostensibly
research for a biography of Cesar Chavez. In 2014, Miriam Pawel's book
Crusades of Cesar Chavez: A Biography was published using some material from Perry (but apparently nothing from these tapes). It is not known how Stanford History
professor Ana Minian came to possess the tapes.
