Enumerator: An Irreverent Memoir

Viac o knihe

When a white, lesbian lawyer in midlife crisis escapes unemployment with a U.S. Census enumerator job in Oakland, California, she blogs about her door-to-door escapades, capturing controversies over race, class and privacy with humor and insight. Through depression, slammed doors, and government censorship she discovers diversity and self-respect, gaining job training as detective, actor, and gonzo journalist; culminating in an unconventional memoir and expose of the census. Enumerator explores 2010: the Great Recession, Sarah Palin, and the Tea Party from the census worker's viewpoint, so pull on your jackboots and watch out for black helicopters.
