Alisa Quart: SQUEEZED

Alissa Quart  SQUEEZED, 20.000 kopya ile (gerçek) ilk baskıya giriyor. Alissa, NYT Sunday Book Review ve NYT'de gelecek gözden geçirmeler dahil olmak üzere bir çok tanıtımı basına hazırlanıyor. Bu övgüleri ve bulanıklaşıp HarperCollins'in tanıtım ve pazarlama planlarını esizlerle paylaşmaktan memnunum. Böylece bu başlığın sahip olduğu etki hakkında bir fikir edinebilirsiniz:

“Quart details the many ways in which our country has failed its middle-class families, and it's a necessary, if not at all feel-good, read. It's okay to feel angry after reading this. In fact, you should. Let this inspire you to protest the rampant inequality in this country, which is dooming millions of people to lives of desperation and destitution and despair.”—NYLON, “46 Great Books to Read This Summer”

“Squeezed, like Nickel and Dimed . . . is worth reading if you’re invested in better understanding poverty in America.”—BITCH,“15 Books Feminists Should Read in June”

“Reminiscent of Barbara Ehrenreich’s Nickel and Dimed . . . will resonate with those feeling squeezed, and inform those who are not.”—Library Journal

 “In this highly thoughtful and compassionate account, [Quart] describes the forces that are making the traditional aspects of the "American Dream" out of reach for many Americans. . . . Well-written, wide-ranging, and vital to understanding American life today.”—Kirkus, starred review

“[Quart’s] ambitious, top-tier reportage tells a powerful story of America today.”—Publishers Weekly

“Brilliant—a keen, elegantly written, and scorching account of the American family today. Through vivid stories, sharp analysis and wit, Quart anatomizes the middle class’s fall while also offering solutions and hope.”—Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Nickel and Dimed

 “Alissa Quart deftly chronicles the plight of Americans confronting the dangerous rise of Middle Class financial instability. The stories she passionately reports are heart-wrenching. They are also a clear warning that this nation is heading in a perilous direction. Squeezed is journalism at its best: exploratory, visceral, and searching for answers. An important work to which attention should—and must—be paid.”—David Corn, author of Russian Roulette

“We are constantly told that America is the land where anyone can make it if they just work hard and pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Squeezed, devastatingly exposes that lie by telling real, human stories. Teachers have to drive for hire in their off-hours, robots perform the labor of health-care workers, college professors with PhDs rely on food stamps, while big tech corporations rake in record profits by “innovating” us into a violent, modern-day caste system. Quart’s investigation, written with the elegance of a literary novel, forces us to examine the grave consequences of an economic structure that has crushed the very people it claims are at the heart of the American dream.”—Jeremy Scahill, author of Blackwater and Dirty Wars

“What Alissa Quart does so beautifully is weave together textured, compelling portraits of individual families with big ideas. Read this important book to understand the challenges your own family faces in parenting, housing, planning for the future—and read it to find out what to do about them!”

—Peggy Orenstein, author of Girls & Sex and Don’t Call Me Princess

 “Alissa Quart is a modern James Agee. Squeezed gets deep inside the increasingly perilous financial lives of American families showing that they are collateral damage of our disappearing government. A damning, necessary and intensely vital book.”—Helaine Olen, author of Pound Foolish

“If you’ve ever felt the pinch of financial anxiety—and chances are you have—read this book now. Alissa Quart will help you realize that you’re not alone and it’s not your fault. Squeezed is profound, a sweeping, blistering portrait of hard-working people from all walks of life. It’s a rousing wakeup call that also points the way forward to a more equitable, expansive future.”—Astra Taylor, author of The People’s Platform

“A vivid prose stylist, Quart makes powerfully real what happens when those who were once middle class can now only window shop for the American Dream. She also offers crucial collective plans to get us out of our anguishing binds.”— Arlie Hochschild, author of Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right
