內容簡介
美國國家圖書獎入圍傳記
「《心臟地帶》已擠身重要作品之林,這些書包含了戴斯蒙的《家在何方》與Goldstein的Janesville…。Smarsh顯現了”美國夢”的錯誤許諾,使窮人無法翻身。這是一本強而有力的真言錄。」-《紐約時報書評》
作者Sarah Smarsh的顛沛童年是在1980年代到90年代的堪薩斯州度過的,循環性貧窮的力道與國家不斷改變的經濟政策,使得作者的家庭難逃窮忙的泥淖。透過講述她個人與親友的故事,作者逼著我們近距離觀察美國的階級分化,並且檢視”賺得少所以必須待在社會底層”的迷思。她的個人史確認了世襲的貧窮,不論是對個人、家庭與社區都有腐蝕性的影響,它不僅是活生生的驗證,也是一道隱喻,甚至潛入了意識中。
Sarah Smarsh was born a fifth generation Kansas wheat farmer on her paternal side, and the product of generations of teen mothers on her maternal side. Through her experiences growing up on a farm thirty miles west of Wichita, we are given a unique and essential look into the lives of poor and working class Americans living in the heartland.
During Sarah’s turbulent childhood in Kansas in the 1980s and 1990s, she enjoyed the freedom of a country childhood, but observed the painful challenges of the poverty around her; untreated medical conditions for lack of insurance or consistent care, unsafe job conditions, abusive relationships, and limited resources and information that would provide for the upward mobility that is the American Dream. By telling the story of her life and the lives of the people she loves with clarity and precision but without judgement, Smarsh challenges us to look more closely at the class divide in our country.
Beautifully written, in a distinctive voice, Heartland combines personal narrative with powerful analysis and cultural commentary, challenging the myths about people thought to be less because they earn less.
