Rebuilding Ourselves, Then Taking America --Acknowledgments And Credits --NotesIn Someplace Like America, writer Dale Maharidge and photographer Michael S. Williamson take us to the working-class heart of America, bringing to life-through shoe leather reporting, memoir, vivid stories, stunning photographs, and thoughtful analysis-the deepening crises of poverty and homelessness. The story begins in 1980, when the authors joined forces to cover the America being ignored by the mainstream media-people living on the margins and losing their jobs as a result of deindustrialization. Since then, Maharidge and Williamson have traveled more than half a million miles to investigate the state of the working class (winning a Pulitzer Prize in the process). In Someplace Like America, they follow the lives of several families over the thirty-year span to present an intimate and devastating portrait of workers going jobless. This brilliant and essential study-begun in the trickle-down Reagan years and culminating with the recent banking catastrophe-puts a human face on today's grim economic numbers. It also illuminates the courage and resolve with which the next generation faces the future.PovertyUnited StatesCase studiesUnemployedUnited StatesCase studiesUnited StatesEconomic conditions21st centuryUnited StatesSocial conditions21st centuryWorking classUnited StatesCase studiesWorking poorUnited StatesCase studiesElectronic books.PovertyUnemployedUnited StatesEconomic conditionsUnited StatesSocial conditionsWorking classWorking poor305.5620973Maharidge Dale1035288MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463323003321Someplace like America2454909UNINA
