28 Down, 24 To Go "This Land Is Their Land" (52 Books, 52 Weeks)
This Land Is Their Land is subtitled, "Reports from a Divided Nation," and this sets the perfect tone for the collection of short essays by Barbara Ehrenreich. Ehrenreich has a keen eye for the problems in our society and expounds upon the inequalities that grow greater every day between the haves and have-nots with her signature satire and clever humor.
Ehrenreich's previous two books, Nickel and Dimed and Bait and Switch are two of my favorite collections of sociopolitical essays, and This Land Is Their Land continues her string of books everyone should read.
