A Biting Satire of America's Cruel Inequalities in the 2000s
In This Land Is Their Land, bestselling social critic Barbara Ehrenreich delivers her most incisive and sardonic commentary on the state of America in the 2000s. After the success of her book The Worst Years of Our Lives, which hilariously dissected the Reagan era, Ehrenreich turns her razor-sharp wit to the following decade, finding lurid extremes all around.
From the moneyed elite buying congressmen while the working class struggle to afford lunch, to the wealthy minority indulging in cosmetic surgery as the poor forgo healthcare for their children, Ehrenreich exposes a nation scarred by deepening inequality, corroded by distrust, and shamed by its official cruelty.
With her signature blend of wit, generosity, and spot-on insights, Ehrenreich offers satirical antidotes to the problems of our time: pet insurance for kids, Salvation Army fashions for those who can no longer afford Wal-Mart, and a rallying cry of rage against the architects of a divided nation.
Hailed as "the soul mate of Jonathan Swift" by The Times (London) and "good for the soul" by Molly Ivins, Ehrenreich's reports from an America of haves and have-nots are essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the state of the union in the 21st century.
