A prescient and deeply empathetic work based on seven years of reporting from the front lines of the culture wars that continue to divide America. From reporting on a viscious battle over school textbooks in West Virginia to the miners' strike in Harlan, Kansas, Cowan journeyed deep into misunderstood communties across America to depict American struggles, prejudices and hopes.
