Summary:"Through searing firsthand accounts by students at Brooklyn College and California State University Los Angeles, this book chronicles COVID-19's devastating effects on working-class communities of color and the resilient ways those communities banded together. While many Americans worked from home, these students drove delivery trucks and cooked food in restaurants for people to pick up. They couldn't escape to second homes; if anything, more people moved in, as families were forced to consolidate to save money. The stories of isolation in this book are not about quarantining alone, but of isolation from government protection. But if these are tales of hardship, they are also love stories-of families, biological, and chosen-and of the deep resolve, mundane care work, and herculean efforts such love entails.
