Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America is a book written by Barbara Ehrenreich. Written from her perspective as an undercover journalist, it sets out to investigate the impact of the 1996 welfare reform act on the working poor in the United States.
The events related in the book took place between spring 1998 and summer 2000. The book was first published in 2001 by Metropolitan Books. An earlier version appeared as an article in the January 1999 issue of Harper's magazine. Ehrenreich later wrote a companion book, Bait and Switch (published September 2005), which discusses her attempt to find a white-collar job.
Barbara Ehrenreich is an American writer and political activist who describes herself as "a myth buster by trade", and has been called "a veteran muckraker" by The New Yorker.During the 1980s and early 1990s she was a prominent figure in the Democratic Socialists of America. She is a widely read and award-winning columnist and essayist, and author of 21 books. Ehrenreich is perhaps best known for her 2001 book Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America. A memoir of Ehrenreich's three-month experiment surviving on minimum wage as a waitress, hotel maid, house cleaner, nursing-home aide, and Wal-Mart clerk, it was described by Newsweek magazine as "jarring" and "full of riveting grit",and by The New Yorker as an "exposé" putting "human flesh on the bones of such abstractions as 'living wage' and 'affordable housing'"
看不下去
评分SOCL102课无聊的Textbook, 太过于浅显易懂而且没有深入思考了,好吧最后的Evaluation部分还可以,但这种体验生活的Field Trip方式对我而言实在是既没有社会学调查的严谨,也没有理论思想的深刻,只能是作家的无聊小随笔? Chris
评分跳着看完了1/4 作者不是个有趣的人所以书中打趣也不趣.. Trump当选真是the poor & quiet对社会的有力revenge.. 觉讽刺
评分写得太condescending。虽然很大程度上可以理解,以作者的背景,所看所感肯定不是从普通working poor的角度。如果是我去体验,估计想法看法也是一样的。但可以写得更好一点。有些时候感觉她要表达的是好的意思,但听起来却有相反的undertone。
评分We are so used to social status we reside and hence lose the view of the whole picture. The rich does not understand the middle class. Middle class does not understand the working class. The working class does not understand the poor. It is so hard to move between the classes even if you try, try, and try.
