Reviews
“Dale Finley Slongwhite has faithfully recorded the lamentations of third- and fourth-generation African-American agricultural workers who labored in the area around Lake Apopka.”
--Florida Times-Union
The book is a must read for those interested in all aspects of the big picture of big farming. The collection of oral histories is haunting but must not be silenced.
--Orlando Sentinel
A white-hot take on the heart-wrenching saga of the Lake Apopka farmworkers and the poisoned fields in which they worked for decades.
--Orlando Weekly
An at once illuminating and heart-wrenching collection of ten oral histories. . . .Fed Up brings to light the suffering and marginalization too often experienced by those who harvest the nation’s produce.
--Environmental History
Slongwhite and her subjects take the reader on journeys beyond the muck to show how the chemicals applied in the fields affected their own and their families’ health
