This book is a real examination of the relationship existing between the exploiters and the exploited,the owners and the dispossessed in a world characterized by greed in all its dimensions.John Steinbeck as well as Ngugi wa Thiong'o try to lay emphasis in their books how important it is for the downtrodden classes to make joint efforts and sacrifice themselves in order to be treated as equals by the owners. Through their books, they come to point out that how merciless and ruthless the ruling class is in face of the workers' vulnerability and total dispossession.They also show how the workers rely on their own strategies to get out of the trouble, and by doing so, they display that some of the workers are real leadership.
