Tales of Two Americas: Stories of Inequality in a Divided Nation by John Freeman

5.0

Tales of two Americas presents 36 essays, poems & short stories by Rebecca Solnit, Joyce Carol Oates, Julia Alvarez, etc. on inequality / systemic injustice & racism in today's society. America is a divided nation where for many, the American dream is impossible to achieve. In 2021, Robert Reich wrote: “Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk now own more wealth than the bottom 40% of Americans combined.” This book is an urgent call for change & should be required reading for all US high school students.
