Description
Dignity Seeking Respect in Back Row America is a powerful and poignant book that cuts through expert opinions on inequality and addiction to reveal the true stories of those who have been left behind. With stark photo essays and unforgettable true stories, Chris Arnade sheds light on the lives of those struggling with poverty and addiction, and the resilience and dignity that defines them. Through his journey, Arnade meets individuals from different walks of life, from the Bronx to other parts of America, who share their stories and struggles. He finds that despite differences in background and geography, the same struggles and values are present across the country. This book is an attempt to help us truly see, hear, and respect millions of people who have been left behind. By sharing these stories, Arnade challenges the notion that those who lack the credentials and advantages of the meritocratic upper class are worthless or foolish. Instead, he reveals the dignity and resilience of what he calls America's Back Row, and the importance of respecting and valuing their experiences and perspectives.
