Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. A sweeping and surprising new understanding of extreme poverty in America from the authors of the acclaimed $2.00 a Day: Living on Almost Nothing in America.This book forces you to see American poverty in a whole new light. (Matthew Desmond, author of Poverty, by America and Evicted)Three of the nations top scholars - known for tackling key mysteries about poverty in America - turn their attention from the countrys poorest people to its poorest places. Based on a fresh, data-driven approach, they discover that Americas most disadvantaged communities are not the big cities that get the most notice. Instead, nearly all are rural. Little if any attention has been paid to these places or to the people who make their lives there.This revelation set in motion a five-year journey across Appalachia, the Cotton and Tobacco Belts of the Deep South, and South Texas. Immersing themselves in these communities, poring over centuries of local history, attending parades and festivals, the authors trace the legacies of the deepest poverty in America-including inequalities shaping peoples health, livelihoods, and upward social mobility for families. Wrung dry by powerful forces and corrupt government officials, the internal colonies in these regions were exploited for their resources and then left to collapse.The unfolding revelation in The Injustice of Place is not about what sets these places apart, but about what they have in common-a history of raw, intensive resource extraction and human exploitation. This history and its reverberations demand a reckoning and a commitment to wage a new War on Poverty, with the unrelenting focus on our nations places of deepest need.
