Amidst the current debates on the future of welfare, one voice
has been conspicuously absent: that of the unemployed and
underprivileged. The result of almost a half-century of research,
"America Before Welfare" traces the leadership and activities of
the unemployed from industrialization to the outbreak of World War
II. It is at once a profound work of history and an anecdotal
window onto America's past, in the days before FDR's New Deal.
This award-winning account of the Pueblo Revolt, originally
published in 1973 as Red Power on the Rio Grande, is told from the
point of view of the Native American villagers of the Rio Grande
Valley. Folsom equates the Pueblos' desire to control their own
destiny to that of the Americans in 1776 and reveals the harshness
of Spanish rule. Not only were the Pueblos taxed and forced to
labor for the Spanish, they were frequently sold into slavery and
their religion was attacked and suppressed by missionaries. Under
the direction of Pope, the Pueblos overcame their traditional
reliance on local leadership and joined together in a brilliantly
conceived and successful attack on Spanish power. This pivotal time
in Pueblo history is powerfully and compelling retold here. "A
fascinating account of the Pueblo Native American uprising of 1680
against Spanish control in the Southwest."--School Library Journal
