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. 606 $aPoverty$zUnited States$vCase studies 606 $aUnemployed$zUnited States$vCase studies 606 $aUnited States$xEconomic conditions$y21st century 606 $aUnited States$xSocial conditions$y21st century 606 $aWorking class$zUnited States$vCase studies 606 $aWorking poor$zUnited States$vCase studies 615 0$aPoverty 615 0$aUnemployed 615 0$aUnited States$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aUnited States$xSocial conditions 615 0$aWorking class 615 0$aWorking poor 676 $a305.5620973 700 $aMaharidge$b Dale$01635185 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815578403321 996 $aSomeplace like America$93975838 997 $aUNINA
