Selena Gomez in 'In Dubious Battle' - Part 1March compared it to the "genial gusto" of the "picaresque" Tortilla Flat. He commented that "You would never know that In Dubious Battle was by the same John Steinbeck if the publishers did not tell you so.
In , with Steinbeck now famous, Carlos Baker "revalued" the novel. Biologists have a word for this very important problem; they call it bionomics , or ecology.

This price cut pains me as much as it pains you. With the market as volatile as He covers the topic in The Grapes of Wrath but this one was from the perspective of strikers.
He shows all of the ways that the local power structure tried to prevent and break strikes, as well as all of the steps the strikers had to take to keep from running afoul of those laws.
And, not surprisingly, the laws were not on the side of the strikers. I have no true understanding of economics so it was actually fascinating to me to learn things like the majority of the apples were being disposed of to keep the prices artificially high.
Overall, it was interesting and I'm glad I read it, but I doubt I'll be reading it again soon. May 22, Susan Johnson rated it really liked it.
I had read "Grapes of Wrath" and "Mice and Men" in school and then never thought of him until Oprah made "East of Eden" a book club selection and I fell in love with Steinbeck.
This novel takes place in the 's in the Central Valley of Calif. Although the s 4. Although the strike is about apple pickers, Warren French who wrote the introduction, says it's based on a peach picker strike in Tulare County.
That part makes little difference. The story made me think of my maternal grandfather who was an almond rancher in the Northern Central Valley and I think probably had experiences similar to the people in the book.
Fruit pickers are really the bottom of the barrel jobs and tend to go to recent immigrants. In the book, the workers are Italians and Irish. As they assimilate the workers became Hispanic and now many are Vietnamese and Hmong.
As they are new to the country they seem to have lower expectations of proper working conditions which makes it easier to prey on.
But there's a point where people break and decide it's just not right. This is what happens. Pushed and prodded they decide to strike.
He seems to have a masterful use of mass psychology and no expectations of actually winning the strike.
He has no problem with the havoc he causes in people's lives. A business owner is burned out for helping him, another's farm is destroyed and others lose everything they have in the world just to fuel Mac's fierce determination and a losing cause.
French says it's a dubious battle because it shouldn't have happened and Steinbeck was trying to call for an end of man's inhumanity to man.
It was the strikes by Caesar Chavez that brought better conditions for agriculture workers. I think there becomes a point when people just can't take their situation anymore and take a stand.
I think that's what happened to Rosa Parks. One day it was just enough. The book was also quite interesting on mob psychology.
Mac knew how to whip a crowd around and how to develop a man's thirst for blood. It was quite evident how lynch mobs occur.
That's a story that goes on today. Overall, this was a fantastic book that really makes you think. It's still so relevant today when people are faced with dubious battles.
People still tilt at windmills and even facing certain defeat, they make a stand. Aren't they the real heroes? View all 6 comments.
Jan 07, Brent Ecenbarger rated it it was amazing Shelves: steinbeck , general-fiction. Steinbeck does a great job of showing both sides of the labor battle, while making one side as good and the other as bad, but still showing both sides to be manipulative.
The book follows the character of Jim along, as he joins the "party" and eventually accompanies Mac into apple picking country to organize a strike.
The bulk of the book's philosophy is expunged in conversations between Jim, Mac, a "In Dubious Battle" is a great book, one that is sure to make you angry and sad while reading it.
The bulk of the book's philosophy is expunged in conversations between Jim, Mac, and Dr. Steinbeck takes a sociological perspective of labor unions, specifically at mob mentality.
This borders on ecological, as man is described as an animal that does not always understand what he does, or can control it, nor predict it.
Steinbeck is a master at portraying the common man, and keeping the book exciting even when you can guess how it will play out.
I realized a little way in that I had read this before. It is an early Steinbeck novel and it is very good. It follows Communist Party agitators in the early 30s who deeply believe in what they are doing, as flawed as it may be.
It reminded me of the show "The Americans" in the ability of people on all sides to convince themselves of their righteousness.
The old copy I have was my parents and it virtually fell to pieces as I read it. Jan 15, Judy rated it really liked it Shelves: 20th-century-fiction , reading-group-pick.
I did not read Steinbeck's novel about an attempt to organize migrant workers as part of My Big Fat Reading Project because it was published before , the year I chose for the beginning of my project.
I read it now for a reading group and must say, it is a much better book than The Grapes of Wrath. All of the qualities I love best about Steinbeck are here.

Great complex characters, description that brings the locations and the weather and the events to life, and a thoughtful look at a big human problem.
The trouble with trying to help a person or specific group with a problem is that the helper is not the person or a member of the group. The main characters from "the party" Steinbeck does not call them communists but the growers do come in from the outside.
They are desperate characters for their own reasons but they are not migrant workers and their agenda stems from a political consciousness.
Steinbeck gives a brilliant exposition of the methods used to organize downtrodden workers into people who will fight the system: finding or even creating an incident that will ignite them out of apathy, the "end justifies the means" mentality, and the justifications for violence and criminal activity.
It has been ever thus when the dregs or unfortunates rise up. He shows all of it, making his book still vital today. The novel moved me as much as East of Eden.
This is the first Steinbeck I've read. I managed to avoid reading most American and British classic lit during high school and college.
While this isn't Steinbeck's best known work, it should rank among his best. He tells the story of a labor dispute in an agricultural community in California.
This novel was written in the 's and the Great Depression had it's hold over the US until the late 's and in some places into the 's. Agricultural workers at the time were white men who lived o This is the first Steinbeck I've read.
Agricultural workers at the time were white men who lived on the margins of society. The two main characters in the book are radicals, and I surmised the Party they constantly mentioned was the Communist Party.
The story centers on the strike and the dynamics of power in the hands of a few local big growers, reduced wages for people with few other options for work, and questions of how to fight the big guys and if the "little" guy can win.
The details of their lives seem very authentic, including language, attitudes, and actions taken. I am now definitely going to read more Steinbeck.
Jul 18, Jenny Bunting rated it really liked it. Read this one during bouts of sleep deprivation and red wine drowsiness so I'll have to cross-reference some online summaries.
I got the gist and it was beautiful and had so many Steinbeck tropes I love. Not ideal for a readathon though. Feb 17, Jack rated it it was amazing Shelves: 20th-century-fiction.
I've decided to up my rating for this book, from four stars to five. Great story, and I'm still thinking about it more than a year after I first read it.
This is my first review on Goodreads. Back in PBT days circa , I used to write little snippet reviews for every book I read but since I started using GR last summer, I've been so impressed by the high caliber of Quinten's reviews that I've been too intimidated to write my own.
And lazy. But I'm going to start anyway. In Dubious Battle completes my run of all of the Steinbeck books at the Central Library, and certainly ends it on a high note.
When I first added this book as "to-read," I was This is my first review on Goodreads. When I first added this book as "to-read," I was somewhat dismayed that the average GR rating didn't seem that high a fraction under 4.
So I was pleasantly surprised by how immediate and engaging it turned out to be. Whereas I felt like I had to slog through Tortilla Flat which immediately preceded this book in publication and The Grapes of Wrath three books later in the migrant workers series , the relatively fast-paced plot and action in this one made it practically a page-turner.
Of course, the introduction was terribly dry and dull as almost all introductions to Steinbeck novels are for some reason.
To paraphrase Mathnet: The names are made up, but the problems felt real. Mar 15, Don Stanton rated it it was ok. Timing is everything, or so it seems.
I read this book long ago and I feel about it the same now as I did then, except then I didn't know how how express it. Never to be read when you are having bad day.
Should I read it again? Read it again or slash my wrists View all 3 comments. This book is a fantastic read and a aurprise as even though it continues upon many of Steinbeck's themes in s America, it introduces radical trade unionism and politics.
All centred around California and apple picking and how the workers were low paid and downtrodden, while the owners rich and set apart from the workers.

The book is like all Steinbeck's work - well written with beautiful imagery and use of language, a wonderful story written by the best to me anyway American storyteller of all time.
In Dubious Battle is a solid book. It's Steinbeck's first full-length novel considering the others up to this point are more like novellas.
What I enjoyed about this one is that Steinbeck's straightforward storytelling ability shines through. He doesn't do anything fancy but his writing is effective.
The novel is easy to get into and each scene is crystal clear. It's one of those that I imagined could be made into a film, which I found out it was in directed by James Franco.
It's fast-paced In Dubious Battle is a solid book. It's fast-paced for Steinbeck standards, has a distinct atmosphere, and has enough memorable scenes to translate to the big screen.
Of Mice and Men features these same characteristics. In Dubious Battle takes place during the dust bowl and is bolstered by two male leads, also in line with Of Mice and Men.
It also generates an emotional response from the reader, one of anger and frustration, which builds throughout. I would argue it's his first book that successfully generates these emotions in a serious, non-satirical manner.
It's almost like witnessing him discover this sweet spot that readers adore in his later work. In Dubious Battle also differs from his other books up to this point because it has a political side to it in which he addresses communism in a multitude of ways.
This is symbolized through the story rather than adding a separate political dialogue, so I didn't find it to be invasive. The story is about a group of orchard pickers who go on strike and seek other's to fight for their cause.
It doesn't sound all that exciting, but trust me when I say this -- things happen. I thought it was enjoyable but I doubt it will remain in my mind for years to come.
Mac and Jim were especially interesting character studies so I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to other Steinbeck fans. Full Blog Post Jun 27, Andrew rated it really liked it.
First off, I love the voice of the characters, it transports a reader to an era that no longer exists. Told from the perspective of capitalist-hating men sympathetic to "red Russia", trying to fight a battle they might not be able to win.

I imagine this book was very unpopular at the time, maybe seen as anti-American, but I don't think that's the point of the story, I think the point is that people are desperate, are apt to follow pack mentality and quick to justify violence and murder in the name of a greater cause and purpose.
So who is the villain? Capitalism is not a person, it's an idea. Socialism is not a person either, and even today is seen as the villain, but socialism is not a human person and so can only be a construct or a philosophy.
The reader followed the story from the view point of the men on strike, fighting for fair wages against men portrayed as colluding capitalists with big government on their side.
Police are portrayed as siding with the land owners and business people, laws are depicted as benefiting the wealthy and hurting the working man, and honestly, that may be true, but I don't believe the social dynamic of this story is only black or white, it is instead somewhere in the middle.
From the times of land owning aristocracy, to social changes transpired trough mercantilism, industrialism until the modern age, there have always been examples of human deceit, social injustice and suffering.
Humans can be savage, especially when fighting for our families or our communities. Recall back to Steinbeck's other stories, the family is a central figure in every story, and that's true for many today.
Feb 16, Saige rated it really liked it. I love the way Steinbeck turns simple stories into wider reaching explorations of humanity. This book was technically about men on strike, but there was so much more under the surface.
Steinbeck used his characters Mac and Jim to personify the horrific cruelty that can emerge in men when they are angry.
He describes the actions and thoughts of mobs as more beast than man, and focuses on how blood can whip scared men into a thing so angry it can stand unarmed against a powerful enemy.
The charact I love the way Steinbeck turns simple stories into wider reaching explorations of humanity. The characters are compelling, and Steinbeck's dialogue reads exactly like a real conversation.
This book is a story, a philosophical exploration, a character study, and a potent piece of social commentary.
