图书描述

The Pulitzer Prize-winning authors of the acclaimed, best-selling Half the Sky now issue a plea--deeply personal and told through the lives of real Americans--to address the crisis in working-class America, while focusing on solutions to mend a half century of governmental failure.

With stark poignancy and political dispassion, Tightrope draws us deep into an "other America." The authors tell this story, in part, through the lives of some of the children with whom Kristof grew up, in rural Yamhill, Oregon, an area that prospered for much of the twentieth century but has been devastated in the last few decades as blue-collar jobs disappeared. About one-quarter of the children on Kristof's old school bus died in adulthood from drugs, alcohol, suicide, or reckless accidents. And while these particular stories unfolded in one corner of the country, they are representative of many places the authors write about, ranging from the Dakotas and Oklahoma to New York and Virginia. But here too are stories about resurgence, among them: Annette Dove, who has devoted her life to helping the teenagers of Pine Bluff, Arkansas, as they navigate the chaotic reality of growing up poor; Daniel McDowell, of Baltimore, whose tale of opioid addiction and recovery suggests that there are viable ways to solve our nation's drug epidemic. Taken together, these accounts provide a picture of working-class families needlessly but profoundly damaged as a result of decades of policy mistakes. With their superb, nuanced reportage, Kristof and WuDunn have given us a book that is both riveting and impossible to ignore.

著者简介

Nicholas D. Kristof is a New York Times op-ed columnist and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner. With his wife, Sheryl WuDunn, he has written four best-selling books, including the No. 1 New York Times best-seller "Half the Sky." Kristof and WuDunn were the first married couple to win a Pulitzer for journalism, for their coverage of the Tiananmen Square democracy movement in China and the massacre that followed. Kristof later won a second for his columns from Darfur. Kristof and WuDunn live in the New York area with their three children.

Kristof is active on social media, particularly Facebook (www.facebook.com/kristof) and Twitter (www.twitter.com/nickkristof). He was the first blogger on the New York Times website and the first to make a video for the site; he now has more Twitter followers than any other print journalist.

Sheryl WuDunn is a Chinese American business executive, author, and lecturer who was the first Asian-American to win a Pulitzer Prize.

A senior banker focusing on growth companies in technology, new media and the emerging markets, WuDunn also works with double bottom line firms, alternative energy issues, and women entrepreneurs. She has also been a private wealth adviser with Goldman Sachs and was previously a journalist and business executive for The New York Times. She is now senior managing director at Mid-Market Securities [1] , a boutique investment banking firm in New York serving small and medium companies.

At the Times, WuDunn ran coverage of global energy, global markets, foreign technology and foreign industry. She oversaw international business topics ranging from China's economic growth to technology in Japan, from oil and gas in Russia to alternative energy in Brazil. She was also anchor of The New York Times Page One, a nightly program of the next day's stories in the Times. She also worked in the Times's Strategic Planning Department and in the Circulation Department, where she ran the effort to build the next generation of readers for the newspaper. She was one of the few people at The Times who went back and forth between the news and business sides of the organization.

She earlier was a foreign correspondent in The New York Times Beijing and Tokyo bureaus, and speaks Chinese and Japanese. While in Asia, she also reported from other areas, including North Korea, Australia, Burma and the Philippines. WuDunn, recipient of an honorary doctorate from Middlebury College, will be a senior lecturer at Yale University's Jackson Institute for Global Affairs in the fall of 2011. She is a commentator on China and global affairs on television and radio shows, including NPR, Colbert Report and Charlie Rose.

反思社会达尔文主义的弊端,如果总觉得穷是穷人的错,牺牲的是无数无辜的孩子,最终爆发的社会问题拖住整个国家前进的脚步。

评分

残酷的是,跟努力比起来,运气决定人生的成分远比想象中大得多。吸毒,早孕,这些看似只是个人层面的错误选择,但是,如果号称世界第一经济体美国的贫困水平与同等发达国家比高的多,那显然不该把锅丢给中下阶级来背。把贫穷全部归责于穷人,其实是身为社会不负责任的表现。工人阶级的声音一直被忽视,而Trump恰恰利用了这种绝望,让红脖们误以为他是能拯救他们于泥沼之中的唯一救命稻草。社会遗留问题导致美国完全资本操盘,疫情过后大公司垄断只会越发严重,改变谈何容易。

一口气读/听完。主题很象Hillbilly Elegy,主要是对美国中下层人们的书写,贫穷,早孕,毒品,体重过重引起的疾病。往往是没有一点点缓冲地带,只要有一个环节错了,或者衔接不上了,就引起了一连串恶性循环反应。作者提出个人的确是有一定的责任,但是作为社会,作为机构,是不是能够领个头,帮助这些个体离开沼泽。这是一个非常令人费解的难题。我以为社会学家有一大部分是在研究这个。结果有了,那么措施呢?
