Summary
A classic in contemporary Oklahoma literature, Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz's Red Dirtunearths the joys and ordeals of growing up poor during the 1940s and 1950s. In this exquisite rendering of her childhood in rural Oklahoma, from the Dust Bowl days to the end of the Eisenhower era, the author bears witness to a family and community that still cling to the dream of America as a republic of landowners.
