520 1  "In this groundbreaking work, Shorris examines the nature 
       of poverty in America today. Why are people poor, and why 
       do they stay poor? Shorris argues that they lack politics,
       or the ability to participate fully in the public world; 
       knowing only the immediacy and oppression of force, the 
       poor remain trapped and isolated. To test his theory, he 
       created an experimental school teaching art, logic, 
       philosophy, and poetry to poor people. Shorris hoped that,
       by studying the humanities, his students would learn to 
       reflect and negotiate rather than simply react -- and 
       would use this knowledge to break the cycle of poverty on 
       their own. The results of his experiment proved nothing 
       short of astonishing." "Here is the full story -- a 
       completely revised and expanded edition of Shorris's New 
       American Blues -- of the landmark endeavor that has 
       spawned nearly two dozen programs in the United States, 
       Canada, and Mexico, and that has been lauded from town 
       meetings in the Yukon to the front page of the New York 
       Times. Included in this book are reading lists and 
       detailed information on the organization, staffing, and 
       teaching methods used in the course. Book jacket."--BOOK
