[CASL-L] Journal entries, diaries or excerpts of memoirs by Americans who have lived or are living in poverty

[Cheryl Robertson]

Hi Karen,
I just finished reading the memoir *Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a
Mother's Will to Survive* by Stephanie Land.  Additionally, *Nickle and
Dimed: On (Not) Getting by in America* by Barbara Ehrenreich is an
excellent look at poverty through the eyes of an investigative journalist
who lived for a year as many of the poor in America do.  Both books would
work well for the class.
Best,
Cheryl
