Red Dirt: Growing Up Okie Paperback - 2006
by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz; Foreword by Mike Davis
Drawing deeply on the stories she heard in her early years, journalist Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz brings to life one of the least understood groups in US historypoor rural whites, who still cling to the dream of America as a republic of landowners. They are against abortion and for prayer in school; and some of them are members of the militia movement, allegedly behind the Oklahoma City bombing.
From the rear cover
In this exquisite rendering of her childhood in rural Oklahoma, from the Dust Bowl days to the end of the Eisenhower era, Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz bears witness to a family and community which still clings to the dream of America as a republic of landowners.
