520    "Three of the nation's top scholars, known for tackling 
       key mysteries about poverty in America, turn their 
       attention from the country's poorest people to its poorest
       places. Based on a fresh, data-driven approach, they 
       discover that America's most disadvantaged communities are
       not the big cities that get the most notice. Instead, 
       nearly all are rural. Little if any attention has been 
       paid to these places or to the people who make their lives
       there. This revelation set in motion a five-year journey 
       acrossAppalachia, the Cotton and Tobacco Belts of the Deep
       South, and South Texas. Immersing themselves in these 
       communities, pouring over centuries of local history, 
       attending parades and festivals, the authors trace the 
       legacies of the deepest poverty in America, including 
       inequalities shaping people's health, livelihoods, and 
       upward social mobility for families. Wrung dry by powerful
       forces and corrupt government officials, the "internal 
       colonies" in these regions were exploited for their 
       resources and thenleft to collapse. The unfolding 
       revelation in The Injustice of Place is not about what 
       sets these places apart, but about what they have in 
       common: a history of raw, intensive resource extraction 
       and human exploitation. This history and its 
       reverberationsdemand a reckoning and a commitment to wage 
       a new War on Poverty, with the unrelenting focus on our 
       nation's places of deepest need"--|cProvided by publisher.
