This landmark work in ethnic studies is certain to exert powerful influence and impact in the years to come.” -- George Lipsitz, author of * How Racism Takes Place *\u003cbr\u003e“Provocatively arguing that the post-1935 years of the New Deal's reforms in some ways undermined the promise of the social movements that made it possible, Elizabeth E. Sine makes an exciting contribution from which scholars in American studies, ethnic studies, and US history will learn a great deal. Compact and engaging, \u003ci\u003eRebel Imaginaries\u003c\/i\u003e will also be of interest to lay readers, organizers, and those in social movements, for whom it holds lessons.” -- David R. Roediger, author of * Class, Race, and Marxism *\u003cbr\u003e“Sine’s contributions here are numerous and substantial.... It is fitting that a book so invested in recovering historical possibilities should prove so likely to clear new routes for scholars of labour and culture in the twentieth-century US.” -- Owen Walsh * Journal of American Studies *\u003cbr\u003e\"... The topics covered are well researched, often exploring little-examined aspects of both regional and national history. Worth reading not only for California history but also for a broader perspective on the Depression years. Recommended. Advanced undergraduates through faculty; professionals.\" -- C. K. Piehl * Choice *\u003cbr\u003e\"Sine's creative use of historical events and movements of 1930s California results in a book worthy of deep reflection. . . .
