Published anonymously. Written by Charles Olson and Ben Shahn (first book by Olson, who would later become a noted poet).
Note
"[Ben] Shahn and [Charles] Olson collaborated in producing a bilingual pamphlet, Spanish Speaking Americans in the War. This was one of several OWI pamphlets meant to counter Axis propaganda encouraging minorities to question their stake in an American victory"--Daniel Belgrad, The Culture of Spontaneity: Improvisation and the Arts in Postwar America, 1998
