SHORTLISTED FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE, THE JHALAK PRIZE, THE CWA GOLD
DAGGER FOR NON-FICTION AND THE BREAD AND ROSES AWARD Saturday, 23rd
November 2013. It was just another day in America. And as befits an
unremarkable day, ten children and teens were killed by gunfire.
Far from being considered newsworthy, these everyday fatalities are
simply a banal fact. The youngest was nine; the oldest nineteen.
None made the news. There was no outrage at their passing. It was
simply a day like any other day. Gary Younge picked it at random,
searched for the families of these children and here, tells their
stories. Another Day in the Death of America explores the way these
children lived and lost their short lives, offering a searing
portrait of the vulnerability of youth in contemporary America.
