520    "On an average day in America, seven young people aged 
       nineteen or under will be shot dead. In Another Day in the
       Death of America, award-winning Guardian journalist Gary 
       Younge tells the stories of the lives lost during the 
       course of a single day in the United States. It could have
       been any day, but Younge has chosen November 23, 2013. 
       From Jaiden Dixon (9), shot point-blank by his mother's ex
       -boyfriend on his doorstep in Ohio, to Pedro Dado Cortez 
       (16), shot by an enemy gang on a street corner in 
       California, the narrative crisscrosses the country over a 
       period of twenty-four hours to reveal the powerful human 
       stories behind the statistics. Far from a dry account of 
       gun policy in the United States or a polemic about the 
       dangers of gun violence, the book is a gripping chronicle 
       of an ordinary but deadly day in American life, and a 
       series of character portraits of young people taken from 
       us far too soon and those they left behind. Whether it's a
       father's unspeakable grief over his son who was at the 
       wrong place at the wrong time, a mentor who tries to 
       channel his rage by organizing, or a friend and neighbor 
       who finds strength in faith, the lives lost on that day 
       and the lives left behind become, in Younge's hands, 
       impossible to ignore, or to forget. What emerges in these 
       pages is a searing portrait of youth, family, and the way 
       that lives can be shattered in an instant on any day in 
       America. At a time when it has become indisputable that 
       Americans need to rethink their position on guns, this 
       moving narrative work puts a human face--a child's face--
       on the "collateral damage" of gun deaths across the 
       country. In his journalism, Younge is committed to 
       challenging conventional wisdom and looking twice where 
       others might look away. There are some things, he argues, 
       that we have come to see as normal, even when they are 
       unacceptable. And gun violence is one of them. A clear-
       eyed and iconoclastic approach to this contentious issue, 
       this book helps answer the questions so many of us are 
       grappling with, and makes it even harder to just look 
       away"--|cProvided by publisher.
