"Born to Slovenian peasants, Louis Adamic commanded crowds, met with FDR and Truman,
and built a prolific career as an author and journalist. Behind the scenes, he played
a leading role in a coalition of black intellectuals and writers, working class militants,
ethnic activists, and others that worked for a multiethnic America and against fascism.
John Enyeart restores Adamic's life to the narrative of American history. Dogged and
energetic, Adamic championed causes that ranged from ethnic and racial equality to
worker's rights to anticolonialism. Adamic defied the consensus that equated being
American with Anglo-Protestant culture. Instead, he insisted newcomers and their ideas
kept the American identity in a state of dynamism that pushed it from strength to
strength. In time, Adamic's views put him at odds with an establishment dedicated
to cold war aggression and white supremacy. He increasingly fought smear campaigns
and the distortion of his views--both of which continued after his probable murder
in 1951."--Back cover
