DESCRIPTION:The bestselling author of Nickel and Dimed, Bait and Switch, and Global 
 Woman, (and brilliant feminist member of Progressives for Obama) discusses 
 her new book This Land Is Their Land-and clarifies the Obama phenomenon and 
 the onrushing tide of change  \n \nBenefit: KPFA Radio 94.1FM   Sponsored 
 by KPFA & Moe's Books\n\nTickets: $10 at supportive bookstores & on line: 
 www.kpfa.org, $13 door \nInformation: 510.848.6767x609    \n \nAs evidenced 
 by her bestsellers Nickel and Dimed and Bait and Switch, journalist and 
 cultural historian Barbara Ehrenreich has consistently and effectively been 
 an advocate for the poor and the middle class. In her latest book, THIS 
 LAND IS THEIR LAND: Reports from a Divided Nation (Metropolitan) she 
 masterfully articulates the hardships and hypocrisies facing the 
 suffocating majority of the population.\n\nThrough a compilation of essays 
 and blog entries on a myriad of issues including health care, employment, 
 stem cells, and finances, THIS LAND IS THEIR LAND provides readers with 
 cutting and provocative social commentary on the Bush years. As Ehrenreich 
 says, "The looting of America has gone on too long, and the average 
 American is too maxed out, overworked and overspent to have anything 
 left... We need a new deal, a new distribution of power and wealth, if we 
 want to restore the beautiful idea that was 'America.'"\n\nThe author of 
 the more than one-million-copy bestseller Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) 
 Getting By in America and the New York Times bestseller Bait and Switch: 
 The (Futile) Pursuit of the American Dream, Ehrenreich is a frequent 
 contributor to Harper's and The Nation, and a columnist at The New York 
 Times and Time magazine. Her articles have appeared in many national 
 publications, including The New York Times Magazine, The Washington Post, 
 and newspapers world-wide.\n \n"Incisive, definitive...Her scorn withers, 
 her humor stings, and her radical light shines on."  -The Boston Globe\n
