From labor unrest and racial strife among cabbies to ruthless competition and political machinations, this narrative captures the people - lower-class immigrants for the most part - and their hardscrabble struggle to capture a piece of the American dream. Graham Russell Gao Hodges tells their tale through contemporary news accounts, Hollywood films, social science research, and the words of the cabbies themselves."--Jacket. | |
