Meet the Deplorables – hinnat ja saatavuus

Legendary infiltration journalist HARMON LEON is at it again, this time teaming up with ferocious political cartoonist TED RALL to answer the question most of America has been asking: "What the hell happened in 2016?" In their new book, Meet the Deplorables: Infiltrating Trump America, Leon goes deep undercover into the heart of Trump America, and Rall--two-time winner of the RFK Journalism Award and a Pulitzer Prize finalist--adds an innovative extra dimension to the book with his own essays and full-color cartoons. Running throughout Meet the Deplorables, Rall's distinctive artwork enhances the insightful and often irreverent tone employed by Leon--an award-winning New York journalist whose stories have appeared in VICE, Esquire, The Nation, and National Geographic. In his inimitable Gonzo-style, Leon's carefully crafted narrative is designed to help us understand (and humanize) the "deplorables," a word used by Hillary Clinton during the 2016 campaign to describe the racist, sexist, homophobic, and xenophobic supporters of Donald J. Trump. For the sake of humor and satire, Leon ventures where elite coastal journalists dare not: deep into Red State territory, where his audacious accounts vicariously take readers on a journey of enlightenment by providing a fresh and first-hand perspective of right-wing subcultures and those most adversely affected by Trump's appalling policies on immigration, healthcare reform, and race relations. His exploits include: visiting an anti-Muslim hate group during the height of Islamophobia knocking door-to-door as a canvasser for the Trump campaign joining a conversion therapy group that tries to "turn" homosexuals straight attending a gun store wedding where couples seal vows by firing assault rifles watching fanatics receive free Trump tattoos participating in a Christian purity ring ceremony in Ohio. This unique collaboration between the formidable team of Harmon Leon and Ted Rall holds up a mirror to modern conservative life and reflects a reality that is outrageous, entertaining, and always illuminating.
