Shines new light on America's poor, drug-addicted, and forgotten and indicts the elitists who've left them behind. After abandoning his Wall Street career, Arnade decided to document poverty and addiction. The people he got to know, from California to Maine, gave Arnade a new respect for the dignity and resilience of what he calls America's Back Row--those who lack the credentials and advantages of the so-called meritocratic upper class. This book is his attempt to help us truly see, hear, and respect those who've been left behind.
