"Our America" Overview
In a book akin to There Are No Children Here, the award-winning creators of NPR's Ghetto Life 101 and Remorse: The 14 Stories of Eric Morse combine their talents with gifted, young photographer John Brooks to help readers see America the way they do--from the inside out.
"Our America" Specifications
This heartbreaking and inspiring book goes a long way toward fulfilling the wish one of its authors, LeAlan Jones, makes in his epigraph: "You must learn our America as we must learn your America, so that, maybe, someday, we can become one." Based on hours and hours of taped interviews that Jones and Lloyd Newman, two high school students, conducted for two National Public Radio documentaries they prepared in 1993 and 1995, Our America is a no-holds-barred look at the devastatingly poor Chicago neighborhood in which they live. It's a world where elementary school students learn about sex and drugs before they learn how to read, and where many boys do not expect to live to be 20. You finish the book marveling not that so many of those who people it are trapped, but wondering that anyone survives at all.
