We charted on Google maps the vast movements of Bulosan during the period covered by his novel, to emphasize the cultural geography of a migrant farmworker in the west, and how it crisscrosses national borders and follows the seasons of harvest and planting. Also discussed the importance of literature in the memoir, and how Bulosan links it to political consciousness and American idealism.
