Poor people / William T. Vollmann. by Vollmann, William T. New York : Ecco, c2007. Subjects Poor.   Poverty. ISBN:  0060878827 9780060878825 Description:  xx, 314, [120] p. : ill. ; 24 cm. Requests:  0 Summary:  "Because I was bad in my last life." "Because Allah has willed it." "Because the rich do nothing for the poor." "Because the poor do nothing for themselves." "Because it is my destiny." These are just some of the answers to the simple yet groundbreaking question William T. Vollmann asks in cities and villages around the globe: "Why are you poor?" In the tradition of James Agee's Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, writer Vollmann struggles to confront poverty in all its hopelessness and brutality, its pride and abject fear, its fierce misery and its quiet resignation. He allows the poor to speak for themselves, explaining the causes and consequences of their impoverishment in their own cultural, social, and religious terms. The result of Vollmann's fearless journey is a look at poverty unlike any other.--From publisher description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 362.5 Vo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.5 Vo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.5 Vo Checked In Add Copy to MyList
