"Soul of a People" delves into the Federal Writers' Project (FWP) of the 1930s, a New Deal initiative that employed thousands of out-of-work writers to document American life during the Great Depression. The book offers a glimpse into America at a turning point, capturing the experiences of individuals involved in creating a series of travel guides and firsthand accounts from diverse American voices, including Harlem schoolchildren, truckers, Chicago fishmongers, Cuban cigar makers, a Florida midwife, and Nebraskan meatpackers. Through striking images and narratives, David A. Taylor reveals how this project not only provided employment but also preserved a rich tapestry of American stories.
