About this book
In a tumultuous era marked by social upheaval and immigration tensions, "Facing the Chair: Story of the Americanization of Two Foreignborn Workmen" by John Dos Passos delves into the harrowing Sacco-Vanzetti case. This compelling narrative explores the profound implications of unalienable rights and the pervasive fear that fueled a nation’s prejudice against immigrants. Through the lens of two Italian workers wrongfully convicted of murder, Dos Passos illuminates the intersection of justice and xenophobia in early 20th-century America. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this work challenges readers to confront the complexities of identity and belonging in a society grappling with its own ideals. Discover the gripping tale that remains relevant in today's discourse on justice and equality.
