Classic series of essays on John Gunter's reporting across the United States in 1946. A little bit of everything. ( ) Something of an historical "drive-by-shooting" but nevertheless a valuable artefact. Gunther does not hesitate to discuss the "Negro problem" as it relates to each geographic area. He is balanced in his praise and criticism of the country and has an overall optimistic point of view, which he should have as we then possessed the only undamaged industrial base in the world. Better dive into your geography of interest than to try to swallow this one whole. 343. Inside U. S. A., by John Gunther (read 5 Jul 1948) On June 25, 1948, I said: "Started reading Inside U.S.A. , which is a mine of interesting information. I hope I don't forget as quickly as I read it. On June 28 I said "Inside U.S.A. continues to interest but it is already a bit dated though published only a year ago." Time flies. On June 29: Slow progress in Inside U.S. A. Read Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana today. On June 30: Reading in Inside U.S.A. Will I get done? I finished the book on July 5. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

First published in 1948, this book provides insights into US politics and culture. The author set out from California and travelled to the Pacific Northwest, across the Rocky Mountains, the Great Plains states, and what was then the immense agricultural expanse of the Midwest, up to New England, and the down the Atlantic Seaboard to the South and Southwest. His observations along the way - on topics such as race relations, labour, the Tennessee Valley Authority, farm life, the politics of the big cities - offer a portrait of American life half a century ago.
