  • Summary

  • Even though her family says American politicians 'are all crooks,' Sarah Smarsh was asked to run for Senate after she became a rare voice of an ignored part of America; the white, poor, rural working class. She choose not to go to run for office but instead wrote another book about her life in Kansas while working to save the prairies and fight against the stereotypes that paint her people as backwards.

    The solution to American polarization? More honky-tonks, dancing and bourbon.

    Her favorite landscape? The American prairie where she lives.

    American movie? Wizard of Oz (even though everyone always says to her, 'You're not in Kansas anymore.")

    Dinner party guests (dead or alive)? Dolores Huerta. Jodie Foster. Toni Morrison.

    Three words to describe America? Stressed, militarized and empire. The USA spends to much money policing the world and underinvests in taking care of its own people.
