Kat Calvin ties all of these threads together in profound ways. In American Identity Crisis, she takes us on a cross-country tour as she and her volunteers try to "see" many Americans whoare nameless and faceless. We meet military veterans, the un-housed, and elderly people who never learned to read or write, and the fierce advocate who insists on recognizing their humanity and seeing them as souls who are resilient and just in need of alittle help. Told in a voice that is strong and vulnerable; funny and fearless, confident and self-deprecating, American Identity Crisis is a defense of human dignity and everyone's right to have access to our democratic system, most notably voting"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Voting $z United States. 650 0 $a Suffrage $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Political participation $z United States. 650 0 $a Democracy $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x History. $x History. 776 08 $i Online version: 776 08 $a Calvin, Kat. $t American identity in crisis $b First edition. $d New York : Amistad, HarperCollins, [2023] $z 9780063273177 $w (DLC) 2023016237 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240202030256.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125011226.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8F8762FE495811EE9228709642ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
