Description:
<p>In this Anansi Digital Publication, James Laxer takes the pulse of America from the vantage point of Southern California at a time when the United States is riven with debates about immigration, guns, and how to tackle the economic crisis.</p><p>From his perch in a little cottage in wealthy La Jolla on the outskirts of San Diego, Laxer talked to local people in the winter of 2013 on the streets, in cafes, at a gun shop, onboard an aircraft carrier, outside Mitt Romney’s new monster house, and on a beach, where people and seals dispute ownership of the terrain.</p><p>Laxer explored the region and wrote a daily diary, drawing on his long experience of traveling in the United States and analyzing American issues. His best selling book, <em>Stalking the Elephant: My Discovery of America</em> was described by Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist for the <em>Boston Globe</em>, David Shribman, as "a book by a Canadian that can change the United States." The book was by published by the New Press in New York under the title <em>Discovering America: Travels in the Land of Guns, God and Corporate Gurus</em>.</p><p>In <em>Travels Through the Golden State</em>, Laxer provides an outsider’s look at the issues that are dividing the United States in the early days of Barack Obama’s second term.</p>
