What if the problem isn’t you—but the system you’re living in?

This is not a motivational book. It’s an explanation.

In Song for a Hard-Hit People, Beth Howard shares her story of growing up in Appalachian Kentucky—the economic struggles, trauma, and ever-present sexism along with the loving care of her close-knit rural community. These complex people shaped Howard’s sense of justice and solidarity, and taught her about the inextricable bonds working-class people share, despite our differences. But her childhood also left her with emotional wounds that threatened to destroy the life she built for herself.

Em sua estreia na dramaturgia, Dani Balbi traz ao público um texto marcado pela urgência e pela força. Mãe, preta, reincidente põe em cena a violência contra a população periférica brasileira a partir de um invejável manejo cênico.

American democracy depends on united support by the largest economic class in the nation—the middle class. But this class faces a crisis of internal division, threatening America’s future. If conflict continues to worsen, it could lead to violence, threatening democracy itself. Since the 1980s, the upper middle class—the affluent group just below the top one percent—has reaped far more benefit from economic growth than the rest of the class. This division has provoked anger among those without the opportunity to move up.

In the early 1970s, with the raging Vietnam War, oppression of civil and human rights, and the environment under relentless destruction, young people of America wanted major change—and they got to work.
