America is in the Heart by Carlos Bulosan

$13.95

Introduction by Carey McWilliams.

"I know deep down in my heart, that I am an exile in America ... I feel like a criminal running away from a crime I did not commit. And this crime is that I am Filipino in America." —Carlos Bulosan

First published in 1946, this autobiography of the well-known Filipino poet describes his boyhood in the Philippines, his voyage to the U.S. and his years of hardship and despair as an itinerant laborer following the harvest trail in the rural West.

Bulosan does not spare the reader any of the horrors that accompanied the migrant's life; but his quiet, stoic voice is the most convincing witness to the terrible events he witnessed.
