The View From Flyover Country: Dispatches From The Forgotten America

"In this series of essays (originally written between 2012 and 2014 while she was writing for Al-Jazeera), Sarah Kendzior looks at a variety of issues – from student debt to unpaid internships, social media and freedom of speech – which became vital talking points in the 2016 election. Now, in 2018, the collection feels both prescient and honest in the way it discusses race and gender issues, class disparity, the abject lack of concern by the wealthy for those who have less, and the failure of the so-called “elites” to understand the Midwest. In a year when all of these things have taken on such terrible importance, seeing the roots of the arguments that now dominate cable news is both fascinating and a little bit haunting in retrospect."
