"For most of the twentieth cnetury, whenever and wherever social injustice flourished, Carey McWilliams was there, to write about it and to fight it: the migrant workers in California,the forced internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II; the McCarthy witch-hunt; anti-semitism; segregation. [...] McWilliams has written a luxuriously rich and moving reminiscence, a personalized history that constitutes an American treasure." --Jacket copy.
