艰难时代：亲历美国大萧条
(us) Stetz Terkel
On October 24, 1929, "Black Thursday", the U. S. Stock market plummeted. The U. S. And global economies have since entered a long Great Depression. For millions of people, life has become a struggle for food, clothing and shelter. There is widespread insecurity that affects everyone from the poor to the rich. Pulitzer Prize winner Sturtz Terkel interviewed hundreds of people from various industries and classes, from New Deal officials and business tycoons to farmers and workers. He used first-hand information to reflect how the Great Depression affected people's lives and how the hard days of that year are still memorable today. Turkel's works established a sustained, broad, bottom-up civilian history for the United States, and he himself became a symbol of the city of Chicago and the collective memory of generations of Americans.
