When jobs and small businesses in a hard-working white community were being destroyed by corporate pollution, many residents blamed recent immigrants instead – even bringing in the Ku Klux Klan who provoked a campaign of violence against the new arrivals. Writer and photographer Matt Witt reviews The Fishermen and the Dragon, by Kirk Wallace Johnson, a new book that tells the true story of a woman who united local residents and immigrants to take on the real cause of their economic insecurity.
