From the myths of the Yokuts Indians to stories and poems by famous contemporary writers, this anthology showcases the best literature of California s Great Central Valley and provides a rich view of the region s physical and emotional landscape.      In the past, the Central Valley, an agricultural region nestled between the Sierra Nevada and the coast, was rarely thought of as an area of literary significance. The quality of writing presented in these pages and the popularity of the earlier edition of this anthology have changed this perception. With thirty-three added selections and a new foreword by Mark Arax, Highway 99, has been updated to reflect the growing body of outstanding writing originating from the region.       This is American literature at its best literature as authentic and as powerful as the land that inspired it.

This will be the 8th edition of one of the bestselling books on effective, mission-driven fundraising that is widely used in the field by nonprofit organizations across the country. It has often been called "the Bible of grassroots fundraising" and is a soup to nuts description of how to build, maintain and expand an individual donor program. 
 There will be updates to many of the existing chapters, but the largest difference in this edition will be new chapters that touch on a number of more current issues. While all previous editions of this book have noted the racism that can be present in donor relations, it is important that racism and white supremacy be addressed more directly in this edition. That is where co-author Stan Yogi comes into play. Stan is an expert in legacy giving, capital campaigns, and fundraising for faith- based organizations, LGBTQ organizations and racial justice organizations. Stan’s experience as a Japanese American, his work for redress for Japanese Americans, and his extensive research on social movements gives him important insight into the racial dynamics present in fundraising.

Fred Korematsu liked listening to music on the radio, playing tennis, and hanging around with his friends—just like lots of other Americans. But everything changed when the United States went to war with Japan in 1941 and the government forced all people of Japanese ancestry to leave their homes on the West Coast and move to distant prison camps. This included Fred, whose parents had immigrated to the United States from Japan many years before. But Fred refused to go. He knew that what the government was doing was unfair. And when he got put in jail for resisting, he knew he couldn't give up.
Inspired by the award-winning book for adults Wherever There's a Fight, the Fighting for Justice series introduces young readers to real-life heroes and heroines of social progress. The story of Fred Korematsu's fight against discrimination explores the life of one courageous person who made the United States a fairer place for all Americans, and it encourages all of us to speak up for justice.

History

Heyday

Ten years after the initial publication of the first-ever account of the struggle to develop and protect social justice in a bellwether state, the award-winning Wherever There’s a Fight is as relevant as ever for “navigating the slogan-riddled civil rights issues of the day” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). ACLU veterans Elaine Elinson and Stan Yogi tell the sweeping story of how freedom and equality have grown in California, from the gold rush right up to the precarious post-9/11 era, despite waves of fear, bigotry, exploitation, and ignorance. The swiftly paced yet detailed narrative covers many disparate struggles for equity, but from each case a pattern emerges: whether fighting for workers’ free speech rights, protesting the Proposition 8 ban on same-sex marriage, asserting the right of people with disabilities, or challenging race- and ethnicity-based legislation, it is Californians themselves who transform lofty ideals into practical realities through activism and legal action. Wherever There’s a Fight paints vivid portraits of these change makers, from well-known figures like Fred Korematsu and Dolores Huerta to people who in this book finally receive the attention they deserve; and it shows how these pushes for progress have reverberated far beyond the Golden State.
