American Prophet

- The Life and Work of Carey McWilliams

Bag om American Prophet

"The late Carey McWilliams helped educate a generation of journalists and readers on subjects ranging from the Mexican-American border, the political culture of California, the underlying meaning and mechanism of the so-called McCarthy era, the mass media, the small circulation magazine of opinion and much, much more. His contribution to and influence on journalism in these United States is vastly underrated, and Peter Richardson's study does much to fill in the gaps on McWilliams's remarkable life and record."--Victor Navasky, publisher, The Nation "For history and social commentary, Carey McWilliams is an acknowledged master. Now the master has a biography worthy of his achievement."--Kevin Starr, University Professor & Professor of History, University of Southern California "American Prophet should be required reading at journalism schools, in newsrooms and numerous college courses. It will inspire and instruct in the real mission of the press."--Ambassador Derek Shearer, Chevalier Professor, Occidental College
