"A good organizer is a social arsonist that goes around the establishment of people on fire."—Fred Ross Raised conservative parents who hoped that he “to stay with their own kind,” Fred Ross instead became one of the organizers of the most influential communities in American history. His career began with the Dust Bowl migrants, where he managed the same labor camp, which is inspired by John Steinbeck’S The Grapes of Wrath. During the Second World War, Ross worked for the liberation of interned Japanese Americans, and after the war, he has devoted his life to building the political power of Hispanics California. Work organization in this country changed forever when Ross knocked on the door of a young Cesar Chavez and called him to be the organizer. Until now there has been no biography of Fred Ross, the man who thought a good organizer had disappeared in the crowd, others came forward. In America’s Social Pyro, Gabriel Thompson gives a complete picture of this complex and driven man, restoring forgotten chapter of American history and provide vital lessons for the organizers today.
