I classify myself as a conservative and I did not expect to like these essays or learn anything from them, but I learned quite a bit. Some of the issues she addresses have just flown right over my head and I was not aware of them. For instance, the plight of adjunct college teachers and the way unpaid internships have excluded all but the rich from the best opportunities in politics, law, and other choice professions. I had no idea that The Atlantic is not paying most of its writers, although it is making healthy profits. I did not know that academic papers were all hidden behind a paywall and that this excludes the common man from accessing important information. I also did not know that the writers of those papers make nothing from the pay-for-play websites. I didn't like or agree with all the essays and I'm not about to run out and protest for a 15$ an hour minimum wage, but there was enough there to give me a much better idea of what, exactly, is meant by the catch-phrase, "income inequality" and why people are so upset about it. We are headed into a century where there is going to be very little class
mobility unless some changes are made.
In retrospect, maybe the "complaining" was not so bad. I was more open to acknowledge the existence of the problems she identifies because they were not presented with solutions I would have despised.

The View From Flyover Country Essays by Sarah Kendzior edition by Sarah Kendzior Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Sarah's writing has forced me to confront key conditions in and issues about my country that I "thought" I was consciously aware of but, in retrospect and with her guidance and experience, I was blocking, ignoring or skating over. One of the benefits of The Digital Age is the ease of communication and sharing, and this compendium of essays will find a wider and more focused audience as a result. One of many distinguishing aspects of this book (and Sarah's writing) is that this is not a collection of disjoint editorials or blog posts These are scholarly micro dissertations on key subjects in current events (and seemingly in real-time even though they're a few years old.) While Sarah's writing and perspective is scholarly, her engagement with these subjects (and her "voice" in this work) is deeply personal (I feel) resulting in very accessible meaning. I "found" this book/Sarah's work/Sarah's voice on Twitter Yet another benefit to The Digital Age. I feel very fortunate to have read this work, and I'll be rereading and recommending it, too.
After the 2016 election, I gave up on the MSM. Disillusioned with the complete failure of the MSM, my goal was to somehow find the unvarnished truth behind what happened to our country. That is when I discovered Sarah
Kendzior.
I did not know what to expect from her essays, but after reading each one, I now understand the interdependent nature of the events she describes, and how it all interconnects with our current issues. Her writing is very clear and she communicates in a way that makes the complex more simplified in a world that is not black and white.
I gained new insights into the academic world that I never knew existed. Her observations about politics, motherhood and academics just floored me with her truth-telling. I found myself nodding in agreement.
Her book led me to her other past work, as well as her past writings, articles and videos that resonate with what I've felt, but couldn't explain why.
The fog is clearing, and Sarah Kendzior is my North Star.
Thank you, Sarah for your contributions so far, you have enriched another life with your knowledge and passion for the Truth.
Kendzior's book is frighteningly and electrifyingly essential right now. If you want to understand what is happening in our country (and the world right now), start here—and don't stop.
Sarah Kandzior speaks for the vast majority of progressive minded midwesterners. There's significant changes happening in our Midwestern states and neither coastal location for writers or any media types have figured out what's motivating midwesterners. Sarah Kendzior fully understands the changing views of the vast Midwestern population better than anyone else in the past 50 years. If you're not reading Kendzior yet, you should quickly order her book.
Outstanding. From the clear, elegant writing style to the smart but sobering perceptions, a must-read if you want to understand the challenges facing average, working Americans in the 21st Century, and the political fallout from those challenges.
For the most part, I enjoyed these essays. But I was/am confused They have almost nothing to do with the political mentality of the residents of "flyover country"--the Midwest/Rust Belt. At the end of each essay, I'd wonder, What did that have to do with the mindset that influenced the outcome of the 2016 presidential election? So you may not be getting the content you're expecting; I sure didn't.
Incredible book. Wow. I found this book via Twitter where the author linked to it and based on her previous tweets, I was immediately curious. Also, I'm interested in supporting self-published authors, especially women. This book did not disappoint. I learned so much about the current state of affairs in the U.S. and gleaned valuable insight into socioeconomic issues that are plaguing the country.
I would be interested to read another book by this author. I find the format of compiling essays + articles to be far more digestible than searching for individual articles to read. Well done to the author and I hope they continue to publish more and more.
Also as a black woman, I'm often hesitant to read books on current affairs etc out of fear they would overlook or dismiss racial issues in the U.S. Again, this book did not disappoint and each article was thorough + well researched and marked with empathy you don't see a lot in journalism these days.
