Blog post referenced:
‘The Hunger Games,’ both the book and film series, were hugely popular. Why? Do they speak to something that resonates with us, as a society? Do they feel more like a nonfiction future than a fictional one? Claire and Nichole discuss a blog post by Dr. Michael J Harris that is one of a series of blog posts based on his book, ‘Stay Alive: Surviving Capitalism’s Coming Hunger Games,’ published in April/May 2021 by Zero Books. We make connections between the world of Panem and the state of Texas and find ourselves questioning the priorities and decisions of leadership. Stick with us as we continue to explore these intertwined issues of poverty, visibility, hunger, and power. We hope you’ll share your thoughts and feelings with us.
