Join local author Dana Frank at Books Inc. Mountain View for a celebration of her book What Can We Learn from the Great Depression? : Stories of Ordinary People & Collective Action in Hard Times! Four stories of resilience, mutual aid, and radical rebellion that will transform how we understand the Great Depression Drawing on little-known stories of working people, What Can We Learn from the Great Depression? amplifies voices that have been long omitted from standard histories of the Depression era. In four tales, Professor Dana Frank explores how ordinary working people in the US turned to collective action to meet the crisis of the Great Depression and what we can learn from them today. Readers are introduced to * the 7 daring Black women who worked as wet nurses and staged a sit-down strike to demand better pay and an end to racial discrimination* the groups who used mutual aid, cooperatives, eviction protests, and demands for government relief to meet their basic needs* the million Mexican and Mexican American repatriados who were erased from mainstream historical memory, while (often fictitious) white “Dust Bowl migrants” became enshrined* the Black Legion, a white supremacist fascist organization that saw racism, antisemitism, anti-Catholicism, and fascism as the cure to the DepressionWhile capitalism crashed during the Great Depression, racism did not and was, in fact, wielded by some to blame and oppress their neighbors. Patriarchy persisted, too, undermining the power of social movements and justifying women’s marginalization within them. For other ordinary people, collective action gave them the means to survive and fight against such hostilities. What resulted were powerful new forms of horizontal reciprocity and solidarity that allowed people to provide each other with the bread, beans, and comradeship of daily life. The New Deal, when it arrived, provided vital resources to many, but others were cut off from its full benefits, especially if they were women or people of color. What Can We Learn from the Great Depression? shows us how we might look to the past to think about how we can shape the future of our own failed economy. These lessons can also help us imagine and build movements to challenge such an economy—and to transform the state as a whole—in service to the common good without replicating racism and patriarchy. “Dana Frank is an inspired storyteller whose work serves inspired purpose. Here, she surfaces stories of folks who mostly have been invisibilized as agents of collective struggle against oppression, precarity, insecurity, and exclusion. In four seemingly disparate accounts of grassroots collective action during the Great Depression, Frank reveals much about how politically nimble regular people have been, to both heroic and rancid ends. Always situating the history of specific collective action in the larger system of racism and patriarchy in a capitalist state, Frank leaves us with much to cheer and much to fear. Enjoy this beautifully crafted book, then get to work democratizing the economy and society.” —Gwendolyn Mink, coauthor of Fierce and Fearless: Patsy Takemoto Mink, First Woman of Color in Congress “In our time of climate crisis and resurgent fascism, many Americans have turned to ‘great men’ to lead us back to a time of imaginary virtues and moral clarity. Dana Frank, instead, looks to the history of the Great Depression for guidance and cautionary tales. In this honest, often surprising book, Frank reframes the 1930s as a moment in which common individuals struggled to make sense of a world in collapse. She reminds us of the precarity and promise of democracy in a nation prone to racial logics and xenophobic outbursts. We need this reminder, now, more than ever.” —Matt Garcia, author of Eli and the Octopus: The CEO Who Tried to Reform One of the World’s Most Notorious Corporations “The most important book on the Great Depression in a generation. The United States lurched between democratic renewal and outright fascism in the 1930s with no clear outcome in sight as European nations capitulated one by one to tyranny. Dana Frank skillfully shows how working-class people experimented with new forms of organizing based on traditions of struggles against racism as well as class and gender oppression. Even as many of their aspirations for equal justice remained unfulfilled—and forgotten—Frank shows that African American service workers, Mexican migrant laborers, and women organizers heroically transformed their mutual aid societies, unemployed movements, and industrial unions into a New Deal for the nation. Our understanding of the Great Depression and its contested legacies will never be the same thanks to this brilliant and timely book.” —Paul Ortiz, author of An African American and Latinx History of the United States “How did ordinary Americans respond to the biggest economic crisis in the nation’s history during the Great Depression? They mobilized consumer cooperatives, mutual aid societies, eviction protests, rent and labor strikes, or demanded relief from the government. Some were Socialists, Communists, or adopted no labels for their exertions of survival. Some were multi-racial and left-oriented intent on social transformation, while others were fascist and white supremacist seeking to restore an exclusive vision of America for hardscrabble native-born Protestant white men. Dana Frank translates these rich archival discoveries of formidable historical episodes into lucid storytelling that offers inspiration and warnings for our own times. Do not sleep on the riveting chapter on wet nurses in Chicago who organized a novel strike to amplify the value of their domestic and reproductive labor in 1937. As Frank centers these Black women she imagines a movement in which the most inconsequential can be lifted so that all work and all workers can be treated with dignity and respect.” —Tera W. Hunter, author of Bound in Wedlock: Slave and Free Black Marriage in the Nineteenth Century “In this urgent and illuminating book, Dana Frank shares stories revealing the collective power of marginalized workers, the real threat of fascism and the racism that fuels it, and the capacity of ordinary people to find and care for each other despite these deep structural divisions. She is that rare scholar able to mobilize the lessons of history against our present catastrophe.” —Robin D. G. Kelley, author of Hammer and Hoe: Alabama Communists During the Great Depression Dana Frank is Professor Emerita of History at the University of California, Santa Cruz. A well-regarded senior historian, she is the author of many books on labor, women, and social justice in the US and Honduras. Her writing has appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post, Guardian, The Nation, Foreign Affairs, and many other publications, and she has testified before both the US Congress and Canadian Parliament.

Join romance author Tarah DeWitt at Books Inc. Mountain View for a celebration of her newest novel, The Co-Op, set in Santa Cruz! They say love and construction don't mix. By that logic, hate and construction may as well be condemned. LaRynn Lavigne and Deacon Leeds had one short and contentious summer fling when they were teens—certainly nothing to build a foundation on. But a decade later, when their grandmothers have left them with shared ownership of their dilapidated Santa Cruz building, they're thrust back together and have to figure out how to brace up the pieces. LaRynn has the money, but in order to access her trust, she has to be married. Deacon has the construction expertise, but lacks the funds. A deal is struck: Marry for however long it takes to fix up the property, collect a profit, and cut ties. In a home without walls, LaRynn and Deacon quickly learn that it's easy to hide behind emotional ones, even in a marriage. But with all the exposure and pitfalls that come with living with the opposite sex (and none of the perks, much to their growing mutual frustration) they'll also have to learn what it means to truly cooperate as a team. Filled with crackling tension, The Co-op is a steamy second chance romance about restoration and renovation, and uncovering all the things that build character within ourselves. It's about the never-ending construction project that partnership is, and finding enjoyment at every stage. TARAH DEWITT is an author, wife, and mama. She loves stories centered around perfectly imperfect characters, especially those with just enough trauma to keep them funny, without ever being forcefully cavalier. She believes laughter is an essential part of romance, friendship, parenting, and life. She is the author of Rootbound, The Co-op, Funny Feelings, and Savor It.
