Abstract

Historians familiar with Salinas are likely to think of it as either the setting for several novels by John Steinbeck or as a site where the United Farm Workers merged civil and labor rights in agricultural fields during the 1970s. As I grew up in the Bay Area during the 1980s, Salinas came up in conversations when talking about crime and gang activity. In her recent book on the history of Salinas, Carol Lynn McKibben engages each of these subjects while asking us to rethink what we know of this central California city.

《萨利纳斯:一个农业城市的种族和韧性的历史》，卡罗尔·林恩·麦基本著(书评)

熟悉萨利纳斯的历史学家可能会认为它是约翰·斯坦贝克几部小说的背景，或者是20世纪70年代农场工人联合会将农业领域的公民权利和劳工权利融合在一起的地方。20世纪80年代，当我在湾区长大时，萨利纳斯在谈论犯罪和帮派活动时出现在谈话中。卡罗尔·林恩·麦基本（Carol Lynn McKibben）在她最近出版的一本关于萨利纳斯历史的书中，探讨了每一个主题，同时要求我们重新思考我们对这座加州中部城市的了解。
