Fool's Paradise: A Carey McWilliams Reader (California Legacy Book)
''McWilliams was one of the most politically aware and influential writers of his day, exposing the plight of the California migrant farmworker, speaking out against the interning of Japanese-Americans during WWII, and condemning the McCarthy witch-hunts of the Cold War period.''--Rutgers Focus(magazine)''If there was a march, [McWilliams] marched; a committee or panel, he served; a pamphlet to be written, he wrote; a witness needed, he testified.''--John Gregory Dunne''If John Steinbeck was a novelist seeking documentation, Carey McWilliams was a documentary journalist seeking the moral and imaginative intensity of art.'' --Kevin Starr
