First published in 1943, this classic memoir by well-known Filipino
poet Carlos Bulosan describes his boyhood in the Philippines, his
voyage to America, and his years of hardship and despair as an
itinerant laborer following the harvest trail in the rural West.
"America came to him in a public ward in the Los Angeles County
Hospital while around him men died gasping for their last bit of
air, and he learned that while America could be cruel it could also
be immeasurably kind. . . . For Carlos Bulosan no lifetime could be
long enough in which to explain to America that no man could
destroy his faith in it again. He wanted to contribute something
toward the final fulfillment of America. So he wrote this book that
holds the bitterness of his own blood." - Carlos P. Romulo, "New
York Times"
"The premier text of the Filipino-American experience." - Greg
Castilla
