John Steinbeck is an author whose literary oeuvre has evoked a rich palette ofreactions, from open admiration to total rejection. This divided reaction tohis works is probably at least to some extent due to the fact that his worksaddress several contentious issues, one of them being ethnic issues, which will be discussed in this paper.John Steinbec je avtor, katerega dela so tako pri širši javnosti kakor tudi pri literarnih kritikih izzzvala nasprotujoče si odzive, vse od popolnega navdušenja do zavrnitve. Tako razdvojen odziv vsaj deloma lahko pripišemo dejstvu, da je Steinbeck v svojih delih veliko pozornosti namenil perečim družbenim vprašanjem v svoji domovini, med drugim tudi etnični problematiki, katera bo obravnavana v tem članku
