Corban Addison added a status update: My new book and first work of nonfiction, Wastelands, will be published on June 7. It’s the true story of a flagship American corporation that has made billions of dollars exploiting rural communities across the United States, and of one community made up of mostly low-income, Black people in the South who stood up to that corporation, filed a lawsuit, and won against all odds.
