Sarah Smarsh on What Pundits and Politicians Get Wrong About Rural America (Get Po-LIT-ical)

Author and journalist Sarah Smarsh has spent the last decade dedicating herself to correcting stereotypes, misinformation, and prejudice around the lives and beliefs of rural, working-class White Americans. She speaks from experience, as the daughter of two poor Kansas residents. Now, she's collected that decade of writing in her new book, Bone of the Bone: Essays on America by a Daughter of the Working Class , out tomorrow. Smarsh joins us to discuss as part of our election series, Get Po-LIT-ical. Tonight at 7 pm, she will be speaking at the Strand.
