LOFTIS ANNE
Witnesses To The Struggle: Imaging The 1930s California Labor Movement
University of Nevada Press Reno: 2014. Softcover. Brand new book. In this groundbreaking interdisciplinary study Loftis examines the artists who put a human face on the farmworkers' plight in California during the Great Depression focusing on writer John Steinbeck photographer Dorothea Lange sociologist and author Paul Taylor and journalist Carey McWilliams. Loftis probes the interplay between journalism and art in the 1930s when both academics and artists felt an urgent need to be relevant in the face of enormous misery. The power of their work grew out of their personal involvement in both the labor struggles and the hardships endured by workers and their families. Steinbeck Lange and the other artists and intellectuals in their circles created the public images of their times. Works such as The Grapes of Wrath or Lange's Migrant Mother actually helped mold public opinion and form government policies. Even today these works remain icons in our shared perception of that era. Loftis helps us understand why this art still seems the truest representation of those desperate times three-quarters of a century later. Anne Loftis is a journalist and researcher and the coauthor of The Great Betrayal: The Evacuation of the Japanese-Americans During World War II and A Long Time Coming: The Struggle to Unionize America's Farm Workers and author of California--Where the Twain Did Meet. She lives in Palo Alto California. "A wonderful book beautifully written and a must read for labor ethnic economic Western and social/cultural historians and for those who treasure Americana."

Lois Ann Yamanaka.
Wild Meat and the Bully Burgers.
New York NY Harcourt Brace Jovanovich HBJ: Harvest American Writing 1997. Paperback First Ed thus; First Printing indicated. First Ed thus; First Printing indicated. Near Fine in Wraps: shows only the most minute indications of use; binding square and secure; text clean. Just a hint of wear to extremities; pages ever-so-slightly tanned. Very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder. NOT a Book-Club Edition. NOT an Ex-Library copy. Slightly Oblong 12mo. 277pp. Trade Paperback. In her debut novel the author presents the history of a Japanese American family living in Hawaii in the 1970s. The narrator Lovey Nariyoshi tells her story of growing up in a white "haole" culture that keeps her family segregated. "No japs on TV" observes Lovey "except Mrs. Livingston and Kay-to." This engrossing novel is strongly woven together with chapters that swing from the heartfelt childhood memories of Lovey's father Hubert to the fiendish behavior of her neighbors. Hawaiian Creole is dispersed effectively with English further corroborating the fervent characters and their stories. By focusing decisively on her own distinct culture the author successfully uncovers the damaging restrictions of American culture at large. This commanding novel should delight and haunt every reader. �A rare book - exuberant fresh-voiced rich crazy stabbing comic and as true-toned as a crystal glass tapped with a knife� E. Annie Proulx. Unconditionally recommended. Harcourt Brace Jovanovich [HBJ]: Harvest American Writing, paperback

L. A. Bizzaro! The Insider's Guide to the Obscure the Absurd and the Perverse in Los Angeles
New York U. S. A.: St. Martin's Griffin A Buzz Book. New 1997. Softcover. Marfree acidfree fresher late prtg 16pp glossy plates 2 color over-the-top horrid text boffo collectable Gift Qual for the decadent non-adult; no names not marked-in underscored clearance or discard. Mails from NYC usually within 12 hours. ; 9.1 x 6.1 x 0.5 inches; 192 pages; nLos Angeles Times Sunday Book Rev D. J. Waldie L. A. Bizzaro! Continues the tradition of seeing Los Angeles as a toxic playground best observed slightly unconscious. The book is largely about body parts cracks wise and otherwise and drinks. L. A. Bizzaro! Approves of consuming them all. Just below the cheerful pornography however is a satire of post-middle-class consumption in a city waiting to explode again. Anthony R. Lovett and Matt Maranian have found interesting things to buy in L. A. While they wait for something terrible to happen. nWhat a hoot! Oct 9 2002nReviewer: Nelson Aspen "Author/Journalist" Los Angeles CA USA - nThe only thing more fun than reading this book while planning your visit to Los Angeles is reading this book if you're already living here! Unexpected and sublimely offbeat. So many reasons to love and hate the City of Angels. Definitely should be on your "must-read" list. nn The most unique travel guide you will ever find Dec 13 2001nReviewer: D. Movahedpour "doeadear" CA United States - nI love this book partially because I have visited many of the oddly endearing sights mentioned in the book but also because it celebrates L. A. 's less-plastic side. The authors take the gloss of the usual travel tome and turn it into a dog-eared laugh-riot. I have made it my personal pilgrimage to visit many of the places they mention and they certainly don't sugar-coat it. The authors can be downright rude but mostly acerbic and honest and that is refreshing. Be prepared for a lot of repetitive burlesque-type double entendre but also a hearty dose of wanderlust from two men who clearly love the town warts and all. nBe forewarned you can't take the kiddies to half the places they review. And they certainly don't "recommend" they just "share the wealth. " These are places you might not know exist or even care to visit except for their appraisals. And yes there are even some places you can take the kiddies. There are places tucked into corners restaurants with lousy food and rude employees that still sound like a great film noir. I have this book at my side whenever I venture to L. A. And its environs or when I just need a good laugh. And you will have plenty of those. I highly recommend it. .
