Death to Fascism
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.

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.
Rooting Multiculturalism
The author examines the life and work of Slovenian-born Louis Adamic (1898-1951), a writer, editor, populist historian, and champion of immigrant contributions to the U.S. Coverage includes a chronological description of Adamic's life, from childhood in Slovenia to his death in 1951; Adamic and the emergence of cultural pluralism between the 1910s to 1940s; his rhetoric of social reform; his writing about second-generation immigrants; and his relevance to contemporary multiculturalism.

Adamic took this same energy to his native land, writing about political struggles in Yugoslavia before and after World War II, and became an ardent supporter of Marshal Tito-making him a target during the McCarthy era.
