PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Jamie Sayen is a writer and environmental activist living in New Hampshire. He is the author of Einstein in America: The Scientist’s Conscience in the Age of Hitler and Hiroshima. His new book, Children of the New Forest, will be published this fall.
“[A] heartbreaking history.” * Wall Street Journal * “It includes labor disputes and the women's struggle for equal pay, the financial machinations that passed ownership through multiple hands over its century in operation, and the bare hands of workers building it all from the ground up. It is all so vivid you can almost smell the sulfur on their skins.” * 800-CEO-Read * “This remarkable account made me think of Studs Terkel and his classic oral histories—but it also made me think of all the blather about working-class communities in the wake of the Trump election. Sayen has replaced the blather with fact, and it’s a powerful portrait.” -- Bill McKibben, author of Radio Free Vermont “Sayen captures brilliantly how the closing of paper mills impacted not just jobs, but people’s sense of community, of hope, and of belief in the American dream. He offers also a path forward for economic revitalization. This is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand what happened in many rural and factory towns and what we should do about it as a nation.” -- Ro Khanna, US representative from California’s 17th congressional district
