Grassroots Anathema
Abstract
As a result of my K-College
education in Anthropology and English (specifically Creative Nonfiction and Narrative
Journalism) as well as certain inspiring texts and films – Ted Conover’s article, “The Road Is
Very Unfair: Trucking Across Africa in the Age of AIDS”; Brett Simon’s indie film,
Assassination of a High School President – I depict the
socioeconomic diversity of Southwest Michigan through the lens of local politics in narrative form.
