Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. A bold and deeply personal exploration of wealth, power, and the American elite, exposing how the ruling classintentionally or notperpetuates cycles of injustice"[A] story about American inequity, and how it mindlessly, immorally, reproduces itself. Unlike most such stories, however, this one left me believing in the possibility.of drastic change." Maggie Nelson, author of On FreedomNick McDonell grew up on New York Citys Upper East Side, a neighborhood defined by its wealth and influence. As a child, McDonell enjoyed everything that rarefied world entailedsailing lessons in the Hamptons, school galas at the Met, and holiday trips on private jets. But as an adult, he left it behind to become a foreign correspondent in Iraq and Afghanistan.In Quiet Street, McDonell returns to the sidewalks of his youth, exhuming with bracing honesty his upbringing and those of his affluent peers. From Galapagos Island cruises and Tanzanian safaris to steely handshakes and schoolyard microaggressions to fox-hunting rituals and the courtship rites of sexually precocious tweens, McDonell examines the rearing of the ruling class in scalpel-sharp detail, documenting how wealth and power are hoarded, encoded, and passed down from one generation to the next. Whats more, he demonstrates how outsidersthe poor, the nonwhite, the suburbanare kept out.Searing and precise yet ultimately full of compassion, Quiet Street examines the problem of Americas one percent, whose vision of a more just world never materializes. Who are these people? How do they cling to power? What would it take for them to share it? Quiet Street looks for answers in a universal experience: coming to terms with the culture that made you.
