(As Smith has put it: \"Rich kids get mischief, poor kids get pathologized and incarcerated.\") \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUsing people's own words, culled from interviews and speeches, Smith depicts Rev. Jamal Harrison Bryant, who eulogized Freddie Gray; Niya Kenny, a high school student who confronted a violent police deputy; activist Bree Newsome, who took the Confederate flag down from the South Carolina State House grounds; and many others. Their voices bear powerful witness to a great iniquity of our time--and call us to action with their accounts of resistance and hope.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anna Deavere Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0525564594\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780525564591\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anchor Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Anna Deavere Smith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44050625626367,"sku":"9780525564591","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_493213b6-9cdd-421a-b565-441ddbda8e86.jpg?v=1685008314","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/notes-from-the-field-anna-deavere-smith-9780525564591","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
