By telling the story of her life and the lives of the people she loves, Smarsh challenges us to examine the class divide in our country and the myths about people thought to be less because they earn less. Her personal history affirms the corrosive impact intergenerational poverty can have on individuals, families, and communities, and she explores this idea as lived experience, metaphor, and level of consciousness. Born a fifth-generation Kansas wheat farmer on her paternal side and the product of generations of teen mothers on her maternal side, Smarsh grew up in a family of laborers trapped in a cycle of poverty. Whether working the wheat harvest, helping on her dad's construction sites, or visiting her grandma's courthouse job, she learned about hard work. She also absorbed painful lessons about economic inequality. Through her experience growing up as the child of a dissatisfied teenage mother--and being raised predominantly by her grandmother on a farm thirty miles west of Wichita--she gives us a unique, essential look into the lives of poor and working-class Americans living in the middle of our country. Combining memoir with powerful analysis and cultural commentary, Heartland is an uncompromising look at class, identity, and the particular perils of having less in a country known for its excess."--Jacket. 505 0 $a Dear August -- A penny in a purse -- The body of a poor girl -- A stretch of gravel with wheat on either side -- The shame a country could assign -- A house that needs shingles -- A working-class woman -- The place I was from. 600 10 $a Smarsh, Sarah. 650 0 $a Poor $z Kansas $v Biography. 650 0 $a Working poor $z Kansas $v Biography. 650 0 $a Farmers $z Kansas $v Biography. 650 0 $a Farmers $z Kansas $x Economic conditions. 650 0 $a Farm life $z Kansas. 651 0 $a Kansas $v Biography. 650 1 $a Farm life $z Kansas. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x Poverty & Homelessness. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Farm life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00921052 650 7 $a Farmers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00921321 650 7 $a Farmers $x Economic conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00921329 650 7 $a Poor. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01071040 650 7 $a Working poor. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180666 651 7 $a Kansas. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204323 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 4 $a Nonfiction. 655 4 $a Autobiographies. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919894 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 941 $a 3 $n 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240124131814.0 $n 10 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20210802133549.0 $n 23 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20210628091413.0 $n 10 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2ACF7D16AC3311EB98A411E3203FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
