Tightrope
Americans Reaching for Hope
Nicholas D. Kristof
Explore the devastating impact of dwindling blue-collar jobs on working-class families across America with Tightrope. Authors Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn use poignant storytelling to depict the lives of children in rural Oregon, representing the experiences of many across the country. One-quarter of Kristof's school busmates passed away due to drugs, alcohol, suicide, or accidents - a statistic mirrored in places ranging from Dakotas to New York. But amidst the despair, the book also shares stories of hope and resilience, offering a nuanced look at the solution to America's drug epidemic. A must-read for all who care about America's working-class and its future.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning authors paint a painfully vivid portrait of the challenges facing rural America. Picking up where Hillbilly Elegy and Strangers in Their Own Land left off, they trace how public policies have hurt working-class families and ponder possibilities for change. – источник2020-01-19T20:01:07.000Z
The book I recommended on @MeetThePress this AM as key to understanding white working class as @realDonaldTrump does is Tightrope by @NickKristof and @WuDunn: You don’t have to agree with all or even most of their policy prescriptions. Just good reporting. – источник2021-02-17T14:35:55.000Z
Just finished "Tightrope" by Nick Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn. Such a good book: Both sweeping and intimate in its portrait of all that has gone wrong for lower-income Americans. I guess I'm a year late, but it's really good. – источник
