"Facing the Chair: Story of the Americanization of Two Foreignborn Workmen" by John Dos Passos is a historical account written in the late 1920s. The work centers around the infamous Sacco-Vanzetti case, highlighting the wrongful convictions of two Italian immigrants on charges of murder amid a backdrop of anti-immigrant sentiment and labor radicalism during the early 20th century. It serves as a poignant exploration of justice, prejudice, and the struggles of immigrant workers in America, aiming to ignite critical discussion on the impact of societal biases. The opening of this account sets a dramatic tone by presenting the events leading up to the arrest of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, characterizing them as radicals and scapegoats for a crime they did not commit. It portrays the atmosphere of fear and suspicion toward immigrants, particularly Italians, during a time marked by violent crime and a government crackdown on perceived radicals. The text includes powerful appeals from notable figures like Anatole France and Eugene V. Debs, who condemn the injustices faced by Sacco and Vanzetti. Through affidavits and the recounting of their trial, the narrative underscores the manipulation of justice by authorities intent on quelling dissent, setting the stage for a broader examination of themes surrounding class struggle and civil rights.
