St. Louis based journalist, Sarah Kendzior, is often credited with being the first to predict Donald Trump’s presidential victory.

Her collection of essays written for Al Jazeera are about life in America from her perspective in the Midwest. She’s compiled them into her first book, “The View from Flyover Country: Dispatches from the Forgotten America.”

With a PhD in anthropology from Washington University in St. Louis, Kendzior’s academic research on authoritarian states has led her to become a sought-after expert on television and radio news shows. Her work is widely-published and was named by “Foreign Policy” as one of the “100 people you should be following on Twitter to make sense of global events.”
