We’re Still Here: Pain and Politics in the Heart of America by Jennifer M. Silva For many years working class Americans have understood how brutal the United States economy can be. Silva tells a story rooted in longstanding hardship that examines the decline of the American Dream. Roused from over 100 interviews with Latino, black and white working-class people from a small coal town in Pennsylvania, Silva reports the diminishment of the working class’ usual routines. As Silva observes the working class creating new mechanisms to cope with pain, she notes that we must adapt in order to solve the political and civil disengagement in America.

While clearing out an estate, she pries open an old tin that holds the relics of a lost relationship. Among the treasures, a World War II-era diary and a photograph of a young woman in uniform. www.dublinlifemagazine.com
