"Rich people learn the humanities; you didn't. . . . It is generally accepted in America that the liberal arts and humanities in particular belong to the elite. I think you're the elite." In this groundbreaking work, Shorris examines the nature of poverty in America today. Why are people poor, and why do they stay poor? Shorris argues that they lack politics, or the ability to participate fully in the public world; knowing only the immediacy and oppression of force, the poor remain trapped and isolated. To test his theory, Shorris creates an experimental school teaching the humanities to poor people, giving them the means to reflect and negotiate rather than react. The results are nothing short of astonishing. Originally published in hardcover under the title New American Blues.Binding Type: Paperback

Love, love, love this cream
I was recently diagnosed with stasis dermatitis (closely related to Lymphedema.). I have to keep my skin well hydrated. This cream has done wonders and is absolutely great for skin hydration. It’s smooth, smells absolutely fresh and clean, and soaks right into my skin. I use it 3x a day. Only thing is, once or twice it was unavailable from the vender. I bought 2 when it was available again. I like it better than the regular Nivea cream.
