We love to blame the people we don't know and never see. Meet the
forgotten people of America's Rust Belt.
Some people aren't invited to the Resistance. They meet no definition of
the Other. Identity politics excludes them. They're called unlucky when
they fall victim to economic injustice. They even take the blame for our
national crises - but who are these people? Rust Belt looks right at the
underemployed, the working poor and the dreamers of America's changing,
post-industrial cities.
