California Fever Dream chronicles Juanita's 60 years in literature and activism. At San Francisco State University in the 1960s, Juanita joined fellow student protesters to revolutionize American higher education and create the nation’s first Black Studies department. She developed her crafts of fiction, poetry, and essays through an arduous path of workshops, countless rejections, and journal writing.
