Open Letters to America
KEVIN POWELL
Open Letters to America is writer Kevin Powell’s celebration of the sudden, mass political engagement of America’s youth, and Americans in general; his thoughts in the aftermath of Obama’s magical and historic presidential campaign; and his open acknowledgment that if twenty-first-century America is going to be the great world democracy it promises to be, it will be Generations X and Y that make it so.

Today, the bombardment of information and its continuous demand for our attention bring us into a sterile world of inhumanity and abstraction that is divorced from physical reality. Impeccably researched and compellingly written, Unsuspecting Souls is a scathing political indictment of our collective loss of humanity.
