商品簡介
In this reprint from 1979, the late journalist Cowan presents articles he wrote that were first published in The Village Voice in the 1970s (revised and extended for the book). The articles delve into the experiences of different groups of people in America, considering events from their perspectives, and testing his own beliefs about them. He writes about the controversy over books at schools in West Virginia, the miner's strike in Harlan County, Kentucky, the fight over low-income housing in Forest Hills, Queens, a truckers' strike, and other "tribes" and their stories. There is no index. Annotation c2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
