This article focuses on the book "Out of the Dust," by Lars Lawrence. The reader may quarrel with their vision, even think their "way out" a kind of booby trap, but no one can quarrel with the basic righteousness of their cause. Of mixed blood, Spanish, Mexican, Indian, white and colored, the common ingredient among them is their insistence on their own right to dignity. Though inhumanity is foisted upon them, it also dyes the powerful who would benefit by their degradation. But in trying to awaken a realization of the cruelties suffered by the underdogs, Lawrence has perhaps lost a point of contact with his reader by painting his "other" people too uniformly black.
