为了更了解美国才看的,但是看了感觉暂时没啥深刻印象
评分[有声书] 通用汽车GM在2008年将位于Janesville的生产线停用,直到2015年正式关闭。这本书追踪了几个GM员工家庭在2008-2015年间,为了不失去曾经拥有的中产阶级生活水平:有的去了隔壁的印第安纳州的GM工厂工作,过上了周一清晨离开周五傍晚回家的生活成了Janesville gypsies;有的年少懂事的十几岁妹子边读书边打工补贴家用;有的回到学校,攻读一些前景不明的专业学位,毕业后的收入反而不及一些当初没选择回学校而转而找其他工作的人… 全书的政治内容不少,尤其是Janesville作为共和党Paul Ryan的老家,经历了2012年总统大选(Ryan作为Mitt Romney的副总统候选人搭档),而父老乡亲多数投给了Obama…
评分与国内早期工业城市(三线等)的经历其实也挺相似。政治与经济。
评分讲的是位于锈带上一个曾经是GM工厂的小城市衰退的故事。作者做了很多功课,跟踪各色人等五年有余,所以比去年特火的那个“悲歌”有内容多了,说不定也能拿普利策。不过我本人对union一向反感,觉得不是每个人都值得同情。除了孪生女孩,她俩实在是好孩子。
评分跟American Factory配合着一起看
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.
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.
虽然本书事无巨细得记录了Janesville这一蓝领为主的“公司城镇”的兴衰,让人对“铁锈地带”增加了了解,但只是对这些蓝领报以同情、而不分析蓝领悲情背后的真正原因和提出实质有效的解决方案,让本书只是一本无趣的碎碎念而无法提供真正的养分。 另外,本书和美国一贯的“应得...
评分在人类工业史上,任何一次产业转型或重组都不是风平浪静的,那些惊人的、华丽的转身往往只是一种事后表述。这显然是一个风险迭起的过程。而风险的承受者既包括可能破产的企业所有者、管理者,也包括被迫失业的、长期以此为业的产业工人,随着熟悉的工作被潮流卷走,他们的基本...
