About this book

Carlos Bulosan's semi-autobiographical novel traces a young Filipino named Allos from a farming village in the Philippines to the United States. There he joins thousands of migrant labourers who follow the harvests along the West Coast during the 1930s, facing low pay, hostility and hunger, and meeting others who push for workers' rights. First published in 1946, America Is in the Heart is an account of Filipino farm labour on the American West Coast.

About the author

Carlos Bulosan

America Is in the Heart calls itself a personal history and is not quite one. Carlos Bulosan built it from his own life and from what happened to other Filipino men who reached the West Coast in the same years, so episodes he did not live are told in the first person anyway.
