Description: Baton Rouge Gallery is proud to host the reading of Sara Bongiorni’s A Year without China, Sunday, August 26. The local writer, former business reporter and mother of three presents her nationally-acclaimed book revealing American consumers’ every-day dependence on Chinese goods.
The first day of January in 2005 marked the beginning of an arduous task that affected everything from buying birthday candles to shopping for tennis shoes. The Bongiorni family set out to go an entire year without purchasing goods made in China, encountering opinionated neighbors and weary business owners along the way. The result is an insightful look at how the Chinese manufacturing industry has proliferated the American economy.
Please join us to celebrate this book which has already garnered attention from Business Week, The New York Times and CNN.
