MIRIAM PAWEL

The Union of their Dreams: Power, Hope and Struggle in C?sar Ch?vez's Farm Worker Movement

In conversation with Jim Newton, Editor-at-Large, LA Times

Drawing on a trove of original documents, tapes, and interviews to chronicle the rise of the United Farm Workers during the heady days of civil rights struggles, the antiwar movement, and 60s and 70s student activism, Pawel weaves together a powerful portrait of a people and their movement.

Miriam Pawel is the author of "The Union of Their Dreams - Power, Hope and Struggle in Cesar Chavez's Farm Worker Movement,'' a groundbreaking narrative history told through eight participants in the movement. She spent 25 years as an award-winning reporter and editor on both coasts, directing coverage that won Pulitzer prizes at Newsday for the 1996 crash of TWA Flight 800 and at the Los Angeles Times for the deadly 2003 wildfires. In 2006, she wrote a four-part investigative series for the Times about the United Farm Workers, which led her to delve more deeply into the history of Chavez's movement. She has recently been a fellow at the Alicia Patterson Foundation and a John Jacobs fellow at the Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies.

Jim Newton is editor-at-large of the Los Angeles Times. He serves as a member of the Times? editorial board, advises on editorial matters and writes and edits for the editorial page and Op-Ed. Previously, he served as editor of the editorial pages, supervising the editorial board as well as the Op-Ed page, Sunday Opinion and Letters to the Editor. A 20-year veteran of the Times, he has covered, among other beats, the LAPD, the administration of Mayor Richard Riordan, federal law enforcement, the 1992 LA riots, and the 1994 earthquake: the latter two were awarded Pulitzer Prizes to the staff. Also an author, Mr. Newton wrote Justice for All: Earl Warren and the Nation He Made, a critically acclaimed, best-selling biography of the former chief justice and California governor. He is a Senior Fellow with UCLA?s School of Public Affairs.
