NOTE ON OSCAR LEWIS: There were two contemporary authors who are VERY frequently confused. The more widely known one (1914/12/25-1970/12/16) was a anthropologist who created the modern understanding on the culture of poor people. The other one (1893- 1992/07/11) is associated with the Book Club of California and California history.
