Battat's book provides a provocative and most welcomed re-reading of Depression literary and visual texts--some in juxtaposition and others in critical conversation--about the urgent need for an interracial movement for economic change. A significant contribution to the field of the cultural study of U.S. migration. --Kimberley L. Phillips, author of War! What Is It Good For?
