A Washington Post reporter’s intimate account of the fallout from the closing of a General Motors’ assembly plant in Janesville, Wisconsin—Paul Ryan’s hometown—and a larger story of the hollowing of the American middle class.
This is the story of what happens to an industrial town in the American heartland when its factory stills—but it’s not the familiar tale. Most observers record the immediate shock of vanished jobs, but few stay around long enough to notice what happens next, when a community with a can-do spirit tries to pick itself up.
Pulitzer Prize winner Amy Goldstein has spent years immersed in Janesville, Wisconsin where the nation’s oldest operating General Motors plant shut down in the midst of the Great Recession, two days before Christmas of 2008. Now, with intelligence, sympathy, and insight into what connects and divides people in an era of economic upheaval, she makes one of America’s biggest political issues human. Her reporting takes the reader deep into the lives of autoworkers, educators, bankers, politicians, and job re-trainers to show why it’s so hard in the twenty-first century to recreate a healthy, prosperous working class.
For this is not just a Janesville story or a Midwestern story. It’s an American story.
Amy Goldstein has been a staff writer for thirty years at The Washington Post, where much of her work has focused on social policy. Among her awards, she shared the 2002 Pulitzer Prize for national reporting. She has been a fellow at Harvard University at the Nieman Foundation for Journalism and the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. Janesville: An American Story is her first book. She lives in Washington, DC.
這本同去年大熱的Hillbilly Elegy一樣,都可以作為對Trump獲勝的理解,Janesville是Wisconsin的一個縮影(32年來第一次投給共和黨)。內容關於2008年金融危機時,Jansville汽車産業的衰落,工人失業,傢庭流離,連鎖企業跟著倒閉。以及隨後幾年如何安撫、如何振興、for homeless children: project 16:49,藍領的美國夢。Janesville對國人很陌生,其實它曾經擁有GM曆史最悠久的工廠,主要産品綫是針對SUV,SUV需求下降後,工廠便也關閉。GM或Lear都是我曾耳熟的企業,如今也依舊還是令人自豪的大公司,人們不會忘記的嗎?希望有人記錄我們的國企下崗潮。評論待補。靠譜友鄰推薦。audible。
評分跟American Factory配閤著一起看
評分與本書主題無關的一點感想:打1.5份螺絲釘藍領工就敢養娃養車養樓(娃和車還是復數的),每個禮拜groceries花200刀,然後銀行賬戶上四捨五入等於沒錢,前腳失業後腳就要取養老金續命。啊神奇的美國人民!真的不能理解
評分Clinton cannot read people as well as Obama
評分為瞭更瞭解美國纔看的,但是看瞭感覺暫時沒啥深刻印象
第一次知道铁西区这个地方是在双雪涛的小说里,以前在新闻里,听多了各种关于东北经济问题的探讨,什么如何振兴啦,如何解决就业问题啦,说的大多是产业升级、宏观经济。 而个体的命运在大时代面前往往显得十分的卑微,以至于不值一提。在小说家的眼里,个体和人性是最值得描写...

評分 評分这是Michael Moore在其反Trump的纪录片里的一段话,被对方给掐头去尾利用了,但非常强大,富有感染力。Trump的崛起,竟然被一个自由派看的最为真切。Democrat到底和选民有多么脱钩?过于重视身份政治,而忽略了底层工人这些民主党传统的选民群体,最终被Trump打败。真是咎由自...
評分清晨7点零7分,最后一辆雪佛兰塔霍(Tahoe)驶下生产线。外面的天还暗着,气温15华氏度(约零下9摄氏度),积雪厚33英寸—几乎是12月降雪的最高纪录—一阵刺骨的寒风横扫过占地数英亩的停车场。 简斯维尔装配厂里灯火通明,人头攒动。准备走出工厂迎接未知将来的工人,与陆续走...
