SUMMARY:Building Community Through Literacy- "Something Between Us" by Anand Pandian
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a community book discussion of Something Between 
 Us: The Everyday Walls of American Life\, and How to Take Them Down with 
 author and cultural anthropologist\, Anand Pandian and community leader and 
 activist Gabrielle Hill. The book is based on stories from more than a 
 dozen places around the country including Newburgh itself\, where the book 
 focuses on the inspiring  water-related advocacy work of the Newburgh Clean 
 Water Project. Copies of the book are available at the Main Library at the 
 circulation desk with the other book discussion books. If you prefer\, you 
 can also read a copy of the ebook with your Newburgh Free Library card with 
 the Hoopla app\n\nIn 2016\, Anand Pandian was alarmed by Donald Trump's 
 harsh attacks on immigrants to the United States\, the appeal of that 
 politics of anger and fear. In the years that followed\, he crisscrossed 
 the country―from Fargo\, North Dakota to Denton\, Texas\, from southern 
 California to upstate New York―seeking out fellow Americans with markedly 
 different social and political commitments\, trying to understand the 
 forces that have hardened our suspicions of others. The result is Something 
 Between Us: The Everyday Walls of American Life\, and How to Take Them 
 Down\, a groundbreaking and ultimately hopeful exploration of the ruptures 
 in our social fabric\, and courageous efforts to rebuild a collective life 
 beyond them.\n\nThrough vivid encounters with Americans of many 
 kinds―including salesmen\, truck drivers\, police officers\, urban 
 planners\, and activists for women's rights and environmental 
 justice―Pandian shares tools to think beyond the twists and turns of our 
 bracing present. \n\n
