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.
