Man in the Mirror: Hope, Struggle, and Belonging in an American City
Description
In this searching work of narrative nonfiction, Anand Giridharadas explores the hopes, struggles, and complicated yearnings that shape life in an American city. Through the experiences of people confronting questions of identity, opportunity, community, and belonging, the book examines how personal challenges reflect larger social and economic forces. Compassionate and incisive, it offers a portrait of a city—and of a nation wrestling with who gets to feel seen, valued, and at home.
