In the Pulizter Prize-winning And Their Children After Them, Dale Maharidge followed up on the lives of the Alabama sharecroppers James Agee and Walker Evans profiled in Let Us Now Praise Famous Men. In his latest book, Mr. Maharidge examines some of the little-known and unexpected issues that are becoming the new norm in middle America--issues like immigration, race relations, and low wage jobs. The new book, "Denison, Iowa" focuses on one emblematic town's changing history.
