Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Joads were Dust Bowl-era migrant workers from Oklahoma. John Steinbeck's 1939 novel The Grapes of Wrath was an instant classic. Considered one of the best American novels of all time, it won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1940. The Dust Bowl of the mid-1930s devastated the Plains states it affected, since the country was already in the middle of the Great Depression. In the story, the Joad family leaves Oklahoma and sets out for California, hoping to start their lives over.
