Summary "The Native Son" by Inez Haynes Gillmor is a novel likely written in the early 20th century, during a time when California was emerging as a focal point of American culture and identity. The book reflects on the character of the "Native Son," a representative of Californian culture, exploring themes of landscape, social dynamics, and the unique spirit of California and its people. This exploration serves as both an appreciation of the state's natural beauty and an examination of its residents' ethos. In "The Native Son," Gillmor presents a vivid depiction of life in California, particularly around San Francisco, through a blend of personal narrative and cultural commentary. The story begins with the author's reflections on California's breathtaking scenery and climate, which shape the character of its inhabitants—the Native Sons and Daughters. A notable incident features a Native Son who travels to Germany to assist his brother-in-law during the tumultuous period of World War I. Through anecdotes and observations, Gillmor characterizes the Native Son as confident and adventurous, embodying the spirit of California's diverse racial and cultural influences. The narrative highlights the vitality and charm of Californian life, infusing a sense of romanticism into the portrayal of both the landscape and its people, ultimately celebrating the unique qualities of the Native Son against a backdrop of whimsical humor and heartfelt admiration.
