Collection of urgent warnings in essay form from 2012-2014 by Sarah Kendzior. Not really just about flyover country, because the economic & social dysfunction Kendzior describes can be found absolutely everywhere in the US. Reading these essays in 2021, it’s hard to imagine a time when they seemed far-fetched. I suppose they still might be to someone sufficiently oblivious & privileged, which describes many a well-paid syndicated opinion columnist. Reminded me of Mike Davis’s collection of Bush-Era essays, In Praise of Barbarians, but View From Flyover Country was more current & down to earth. In Praise of Barbarians had more essays that were about specific places or historical events, while the View From Flyover Country essays focused on the effects of political & economic collapse that are felt throughout the country. Was an easy, but infuriating, read.
