American Hunger: The Pulitzer Prize-Winning Washington Post Series (A Vintage Short)

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting

In this Pulitzer Prize-winning collection, Washington Post reporter Eli Saslow traveled across the country over the course of a yearâ€”from Florida and Texas to Rhode Island and Tennesseeâ€”to examine the personal and political implications and repercussions of America's growing food stamp program.
Â
Saslow shows us the extraordinary impact the arrival of food stamps has each month on a small town's struggling economy, the difficult choices our representatives face in implementing this $78-billion program affecting millions of Americans, and the challenges American families, senior citizens, and children encounter every day in ensuring they have enough, and sometimes even anything to eat. These unsettling and eye-opening stories make for required reading, providing nuance and understanding to the complex matters of American poverty.Â
