Fool's Paradise A Carey McWilliams Reader

Carey McWilliams (1905-1980) -- lawyer, activist, historian, editor of The Nation for two decades -- wrote the history of California as no one else could, or would. Alternately scathing, amusing, and disturbing, his sharp and literate accounts shatter the myths meant to obscure the real workings of the state, revealing always the relationship between the exploited and those who would exploit them.Readers will find that McWilliams's writing on history and the issues of his day is still relevant -- in fact, it is the basis for the field that we now call California studiesStewart, Dean is the author of 'Fool's Paradise A Carey McWilliams Reader' with ISBN 9781890771416 and ISBN 1890771414.
