"Journey to Nowhere: The Saga of the New Underclass" by Dale Maharidge and Michael Williamson is a powerful narrative that brings to life the struggles of the modern underclass in America through powerful text and photos, this book provides an intimate look at the disenfranchised workers left behind, particularly in places like Youngstown, Ohio, America's homeless and poor, the life of modern hobos, and tells the stories of farm workers, illegal aliens, and the unemployed. Hailed as a modern-day Grapes of Wrath, the stories of real people facing economic hardship are deeply moving and was a direct inspiration for Bruce Springsteen's Grammy-winning album, The Ghost of Tom Joad.
