"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

Excellent buy
Color: pink
I ordered this case for my new IPad. This case is awesome! Not flimsy and bulky. I loved that it had a screen saver included in the case. It was easy to put on my IPad. Snapped together good. The price was excellent! The case keeps all dust off the screen. The screen is easy to clean. I highly recommend this case!

Perfect case for my daughter’s iPad
Color: Purple Pink
bought this case for my daughter.
The fit is perfect — all the buttons and camera line up exactly and it snaps on securely.
The case feels sturdy, protective, and durable but not too heavy, so she can still carry it comfortably.
The stand feature is convenient. The design is also super cute — Luna loves it
Overall, great quality for the price. I would definitely buy it again
