Avtorja v članku predstavljata Adamičevo vlogo v drugi svetovni vojni, v kateri je deloval v okviru ameriških organizacij, kakršni sta bili Commom Council for American Unity in Vladna komisija za ...narodno obrambo. Pri tem se je zavzemal za upoštevanje etnične raznolikosti ameriškega prebivalstva pri aktiviranju v vojnih naporih ZDA. Adamič je bil tudi vodilni član organizacij ameriških južnoslovanskih izseljencev, kakršna sta bila Združeni odbor južnoslovanskih Američanov in Slovenski ameriški narodni svet. Ker novejša ameriška literatura delovanje jugoslovanskih Američanov med drugo svetovno vojno obravnava zlasti kot problem nacionalne varnosti ZDA, nam odkriva doslej še ne razkrito plat delovanja Louisa Adamiča.
Članek prikazuje odzive ameriških in slovenskih časnikov, tednikov, mesečnikov in drugih poročil na Adamičeve prve tri knjige, ki so v ZDA izšle med letoma 1931 in 1934. Avtor v članku obravnava tako ...pozitivne kot negativne kritike njegovih del, pri čemer si pomaga z Adamičevimi knjigami, s spomini, korespondenco in strokovnimi članki, ki so se ukvarjali z njegovima pisanjem in delovanjem. Primerja odzive bralcev in jih sooča z relevantnimi spoznanji in zgodovinskimi dejstvi ter dostopnim arhivskim gradivom. Članek prikaže, kako se je Adamič na začetku literarnega razvoja počasi spreminjal v poznavalca priseljenskih tematik.

The article focuses on those texts by Louis Adamic that, by employing the principles of literary journalism, create an authentic discourse (which is simultaneously subjective and documentary) for the ...description of both current and past events, and successfully place Adamic alongside more recognizable names in the field of literary journalism. The article also explains the characteristics of literary journalism and identifies the traits of this genre in those of Adamic's works that involve a multiculturalist criticism of the homogenizing impact of dominant cultures and reveal a powerful social agenda (Dynamite, Laughing in the Jungle, My America, The Native's Return, and A Nation of Nations).
