Our Towns: A 100,000-Mile Journey into the Heart of America

Presented By
James and Deborah Fallows

Maybe you think this country is going to hell. Plenty of people do. But James and Deborah Fallows spent five years traveling America by single-prop airplane, visiting small and midsize cities and meeting civic leaders, factory workers, recent immigrants, and young entrepreneurs. And they came away with a more hopeful take. From Eastport, Maine, to Redlands, California, they found revival and reinvention.

James Fallows, former chief speechwriter for President Jimmy Carter, is a longtime national correspondent for The Atlantic. Deborah Fallows is a contributing writer for The Atlantic who has worked in research and polling for the Pew Internet Project and in data architecture for Oxygen Media. They offer a revelatory portrait of civic and economic renewal taking place across America, mostly out of view of the national media, in a discussion of their new book Our Towns.
