An analysis of how the political climate of 1920s America affected the work of John Steinbeck. He was the son of a 1920s migrant worker, and we see the effects that the Great Depression had on his family. They moved over 2,000 miles and lived in a 'tent city' for two years, trying to establish a life for themselves in California. There is further exploration into how Steinbeck was politically aware and sensitive to the situation of migrant workers. His empathy for marginalised people helps our understanding of how the political climate of 1920s America influenced 'Of Mice and Men'.
