Meyer, Lee Ann. "Great Exception: Carey McWilliams’ Path to Activism," American Studies Program, Claremont Graduate University, May 1996.
The dissertation is the first part of a full-length examination of the life and contributions of radical journalist, lawyer, and activist Carey McWilliams (1905-1980), focusing on his formative years in California in the 1920s and 1930s. Using unpublished letters, manuscripts, diaries, and oral histories, along with McWilliams’ extensive published writings, his contemporaries’ publications, and new secondary sources, this study provides both an expanded and revised portrait of Carey Williams and a new foundation for a proper understanding of his classic works: Factories in the Field (1939), Southern California Country, an Island on the Land (1946), California, The Great Exception (1949), and North From Mexico, The Spanish Speaking People of the United States (1949).
