Description of  2020 One City, Seven People, and the Year Everything Changed [Audiobook]

B0C6YKB9D5 M4B@64 kbps Author: Eric Klinenberg Narrator: Eric Klinenberg, Dan John Miller A meticulously reported, character-driven, unforgettable investigation of a time when nothing was certain and everything was at stake, by the acclaimed sociologist and best-selling author Eric Klinenberg. 2020 will go down alongside 1914, 1929, and 1968 as one of the most consequential years in history. This riveting and affecting book is the first attempt to capture the full human experience of that fateful time. At the heart of 2020 are seven vivid profiles of ordinary New Yorkers-including an elementary school principal, a bar manager, a subway custodian, and a local political aide-whose experiences illuminate how Americans, andpeople across the globe, reckoned with 2020. Through these poignant stories, we revisit our own moments of hope and fear, the profound tragedies and losses in our communities, the mutual aid networks that brought us together, and the social movements that hinted at the possibilities of a better world.
