An abiding classic, Ramona depicts the life and trials of a
half-Scottish, half-Native American orphan, who experiences
discrimination on the basis of her race. Unflinching in its
depiction of racial stigma and the consequent ills of poverty and
misfortune, Ramona became sensationally popular in the United
States. It prompted mass tourism via the freshly laid railway to
the various locations described in the novel. It would also force
many readers to contemplate the social disruption wrought by
racism, and lead to several popular adaptations in Hollywood as
well as for television. Although living in the adoptive care of a
Mexican family, Ramona's Native American heritage means that none
of her entrusted carers regard her with any love or affection.
What's more, the arrival of new settlers and other rivals means the
family must struggle, moving from place to place in search of a
permanent place of abode while enduring abuse and stigma from the
nascent society around them.
