Om författaren
Kerri Arsenault grew up in the rural working-class town of Mexico, Maine. For more than a hundred years the community orbited around a paper mill that employed most townspeople, including three generations of Arsenault's family. Years after she moved away, Arsenault realized the price she paid for visa mer her happy childhood. The mill, while providing social and economic cohesion for the community, also contributed to its demise and-the destruction of the environment in a slow-moving catastrophe, earning the area the nickname "Cancer Valley." Mill Town is a work of narrative nonfiction, investigative memoir, and cultural criticism that illuminates the rise and collapse of the working class, the hazards of loving and leaving home, and the ambiguous nature of toxics and disease. Mill Town is a moral wake-up call that asks: Who or what are we willing to sacrifice for our own survival? visa färre
