From the St. Louis-based journalist frequently credited with initial predicting Donald Trump’s presidential success.

‘A assortment of sharp-edged, humanistic items about the American heartland…Passionate pieces that repeatedly assail the shortcoming of many to empathize and to humanize.’ – Kirkus

In 2015, Sarah Kendzior collected the essays she reported for Al Jazeera and published them as The Watch from Flyover Nation, which became an ebook bestseller and garnered about The View from Flyover Country: Dispatches through the Forgotten America praise from readers around the world. Right now, The View from Flyover Nation has been released in print with an up to date intro and epilogue that reflect on the ways that the Trump presidency was the specific result of the realities first captured in Kendzior’s essays.

A clear-eyed account from the realities of life in America’s overlooked heartland, The Look at from Flyover Country is a piercing critique from the labor exploitation, race relations, gentrification, press bias, and additional areas of the post-employment overall economy that gave rise to a leader who rules as an autocrat. The Watch from Flyover Nation is essential reading for anybody who is convinced that the only path for America to repair its problems can be to first talk about them with integrity and compassion.

“Please put everything apart and try to get ahold of Sarah Kendzior’s collected essays, The Watch from Flyover Nation. I have seldom come across writing that’s as urgent and beautifully expressed. Why is Kendzior’s writing so truly essential is definitely [that] it . paperwork where the issue lies, by someone who lives there.”-The Wire

“Sarah Kendzior is really as severe and tenacious a critic from the Trump administration as you’ll find. She isn’t some brand-new kid over the politics block or a controversy machine. . . .Rather she is a widely published journalist and anthropologist that has spent much of her life studying authoritarianism.” -Columbia Tribune
