Hinterland

An exploration of America's declining heartland, the Hinterland.

Description

An exploration of America's declining heartland, the Hinterland.

Over the last forty years, the landscape of the USA has been fundamentally transformed. It is partially visible in the ascendance of glittering coastal hubs for finance, infotech and the so-called 'creative class'. But this is only the tip of an economic iceberg, the bulk of which lies in the darkness of the declining heartland or on the dimly lit fringe of sprawling cities. This is America's hinterland. Drawing on his direct experience of recent popular unrest, Phil A. Neel provides a close-up and intimate view of this landscape in all its grim but captivating detail.

'Imagine Patrick Leigh Fermor and Karl Marx on a road trip through the hubs and corridors of rust-belt America...Ambitious, polemical, brilliant.' - Arlie Hochschild, author of Strangers in Their Own Land
