SUMMARY:Adult Book Club:  Poverty, By America by Matthew Desmond (ages 18+)
DESCRIPTION:\n\nGoodreads Choice Award Winner for Best Nonfiction (2023)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPoverty, By America is a reimagining of the debate on poverty, making a new and bracing argument about why it persists in America: because the rest of us benefit from it.\nThe United States, the richest country on earth, has more poverty than any other advanced democracy. Why? Why does this land of plenty allow one in every eight of its children to go without basic necessities, permit scores of its citizens to live and die on the streets, and authorize its corporations to pay poverty wages?\nIn this landmark book, acclaimed sociologist Matthew Desmond draws on history, research, and original reporting to show how affluent Americans knowingly and unknowingly keep poor people poor.\n\n\n–Goodreads\n \n\n\n\nAll are welcome to attend. Copies are available at Oscar Grady Library for checkout.\n\n\n\n \nAWARDS\nA BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New Yorker, The New York Times Book Review, NPR, Oprah Daily, Time, The Star Tribune, Vulture, The Christian Science Monitor, Chicago Public Library, Esquire, California Review of Books, She Reads, Library Journal\nLonglisted for the Inc. Non-Obvious Book Award\nLonglisted for the Andrew Carnegie Medal\n\n\n
