THIS BOOK IS A CLOSE-UP VIEW OF THE "LOW-STATUS" AGRICULTURAL WORKER, BASED ON AND BUILT AROUND THREE ACTUAL CASE STUDIES OF THE MIGRANT CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION PROJECT. CONDUCTED UNDER A GRANT TO THE DIVISION OF CHRISTIAN LIFE AND MISSION OF THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF CHURCHES, THIS PROJECT SUCCEEDED IN ESTABLISHING PRINCIPLES FOR SELF-HELP PROGRAMS THAT COULD BE USED BY ANY COMMUNITY IN WORKING WITH ITS UNDERPRIVILEGED GROUPS. "DIGNITY OF THEIR OWN" PROVIDES PRACTICAL TESTED-IN-ACTION PRINCIPLES TO SERVE AS GUIDEPOSTS FOR THOSE WHO WOULD REACH ACROSS THE BARRIERS THAT SEPARATE THE "LOW- STATUS" PEOPLE FROM THE REST OF SOCIETY.
