	[[''The Grapes of Wrath'']], written by John Steinbeck and published in 1939 examines the plight of migrant workers during the Great Depression. In this novel, Steinbeck focuses on the Joads, a family of sharecroppers forced from their home in Oklahoma by drought, destitution and amalgamation of family farms into mechanized corporate entities. Like many other desperate families, the Joads embark on a long and treacherous journey to California, where they have been led to believe they will find jobs, land and the dignity they have lost in their plight.
