On January 8, 2011, twenty-two-year-old Jared Lee Loughner opened fire at a Tucson meet-and-greet held by U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords. The incident left six people dead and eighteen injured, including Giffords, whom he shot in the head. The auhtor, a fifth generation Arizonan and longtime friend of Giffords's and a field organizer on her Congressional campaign, uses the tragedy as a jumping-off point to expose the fault lines in Arizona's political and socioeconomic landscape that allowed this to happen. He discusses the harmful political rhetoric, the inept state government, the lingering effects of the housing market's boom and bust, the proliferation and accessibility of guns, the lack of established communities, and the hysteria surrounding issues of race and immigration. He offers a revealing portrait of the Southwestern state at a critical moment in history, and as a symbol of the nation's discontents and uncertainties. Ultimately, it is his rallying cry for a saner, more civil way of life. 600 10 $a Giffords, Gabrielle D. $q (Gabrielle Dee), $d 1970- $x Assassination attempt, 2011. 600 10 $a Giffords, Gabrielle D. $q (Gabrielle Dee), $d 1970- 651 0 $a Arizona $x Politics and government $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Arizona $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Arizona $x Economic conditions $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Arizona $x Civilization $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Political culture $z Arizona. 650 0 $a Political culture $z United States. 941 $a 9 952 $l DFPC353 $d 20240430015209.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722032045.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20200701010351.0 952 $l MGPD463 $d 20180718022546.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20180523014709.0 952 $l HNPC845 $d 20171116012551.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418084802.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825041932.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20120119011454.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E35AA2D62D3311E1AB9414A06AFF544E 994 $a C0 $b IW9Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
