Coles American Exodus: The Dust Bowl Migration and Okie Culture in California at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC

Fifty years ago, John Steinbeck's now classic novel, The Grapes of Wrath, captured the epic story of an Oklahoma farm family driven west to California by dust storms, drought, and economic hardship. It was a story that generations of Americans have also come to know through Dorothea Lange's unforgettable photos of migrant families struggling to make a living in Depression-torn California. Now in James N. Gregory's pathbreaking American Exodus, there is at last an historical "A courageous, wise, and witty book about the lives and writings of two father-identified women....The book's rejection of familial thinking manifests an exciting change in the object and aims of feminist criticism."--Eighteenth-Century Studies"A valuable addition to women's studies collections."--Choice"Kowaleski-Wallace has convincingly shown, however, that the sociopolitical agendas of both writers are deeply and pervasively involved with issues of gender. In the pro cess, she has also established and original and productive frame for rethinking gender relations in their bearing on an era of profound social change."--Alan Richardson"A useful text...Her thesis works well with the novels she has chosen to examine (selected ones by Charlotte Lennox, Samuel Richardson, Henry Fielding, Anne Radcliffe, Jane Austen, and Sir Walter Scott). She desires to tell the truth about desire, and she does so."--Tulsa Studies in Women's literature implications of that massive 20th-century population shift. In this rich account of the experiences and impact of these migrant heartlanders, Gregory fills an important gap in recent American social history.
