In 1935, the WPA writers' project provided unemployed white- and blue-collar workers throughout the country with work as government writers producing state, regional, and community guides. Bold's (English, U. of Guelph) is the first book to examine the WPA writers' project in a single state, focusing on the Massachusetts writers' project--an ambitious, risk-taking endeavor which was often mired in dramas and scandals. The study reveals the best and worst of how the public funding experiment played out in practice, and the consequences for writers-in-the-making, for community image-making, and for minority groups attempting to achieve cultural citizenship in America.
