Creating a Hoosier Self-Portrait: Indiana University Press

Autor George T. Blakey
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 apr 2005
From 1935 to 1942, the Indiana office of the Federal Writers' Program hired unemployed writers as "field workers" to create a portrait in words of the land, the people, and the culture of the Hoosier state. This book tells the story of the project and its valuable legacy. Beginning work under the guidance of Ross Lockridge, whose son would later burst onto the American literary scene with his novel Raintree County, the group would eventually produce Indiana: A Guide to the Hoosier State, Hoosier Tall Stories, and other publications. Though many projects were never brought to completion, the Program's work remains a useful and rarely tapped storehouse of information on the history and culture of the state.

Recenzii

Blakey asserts that 'ambivalence about unemployment and relief work isunderstandable for the FWP (Federal Writers' Project) employees, but there need be neither silence nor shame about their legacy' (p. 212). This reviewer enthusiastically agrees.
