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.
1. 作為雜誌文章或紀錄片可能更好 2 可憐但作
評分還是要佩服大報記者的調查和非虛構寫作能力。 一個宏大的命題,美國銹帶的汽車工人在享受過時薪28美元的榮光之後,如何在生産綫停産的情況下自尋齣路。大的背景是2008年的經濟蕭條,著眼點卻是落在三個工人傢庭,以及若乾周邊的社會係統,從學校到NGO,從商人到議員。 乍一讀,平淡;再讀,仍是平淡,但就是想知道這些在變故麵前努力生活的人們的日常和命運。 很多基於嚴謹的社會學調查得齣的結論,通過個案的故事呈現,引人深思。比如再就業培訓實際並沒有鳥用;比如工會,比如上層和底層的分裂世界。 (必須要鄙視一下國內以個案代錶整體的反嚮操作) 還有一點感慨,中産階級和貧睏戶,就是一份工作的區彆。還得努力多存錢啊。
評分跟American Factory配閤著一起看
評分這本同去年大熱的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。
