Listen ""The Injustice of Place" Authors on Indexing Poverty in America"
Episode Synopsis
Hosts Jeff and Carol talk with the three authors of The Injustice of Place, published in 2023 by HarperCollins. Dr. Kathryn Edin, H. Luke Shaefer, and Timothy J. Nelson discuss their research and how they plan to light the way forward.
"The unfolding revelation in The Injustice of Place is not about what sets these places apart, but about what they have in common—a history of raw, intensive resource extraction and human exploitation. This history and its reverberations demand a reckoning and a commitment to wage a new War on Poverty, with the unrelenting focus on our nation’s places of deepest need. "
