Someplace Like America: Tales from the New Great Depression is a nonfiction work of reporting and documentary narrative by Dale Maharidge, with photographs by Michael S. Williamson and a foreword by Bruce Springsteen. Centered on the working class in the United States, the book follows families and communities affected by deindustrialization, long-term unemployment, poverty, and homelessness. Rather than presenting the economic crisis as an abstract policy problem, it shows how structural change reshapes daily life over decades. The book grew out of Maharidge and Williamson’s long engagement with America’s overlooked margins, continuing a project that began in the early 1980s and was informed by their earlier, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporting. Its purpose is both journalistic and humanistic: to record how ordinary people endure economic dislocation, and to make visible the social costs behind headline-level statistics. The result is an extended portrait of a nation whose promise and inequality exist side by side.
