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'"

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First Year Seminar要求读的。很有启发。美国梦到头来也只是梦而已。
评分多好的题材被作者糟蹋了 书中看到的更多的是一个whinning american 但是如果那个时候已经一份minimal wage的工作无法养活一个人的话 那15年之后的今天收入缩水房租照涨的社会出现问题确实是再所难免的 而高福利感觉也不能解决问题...
评分有时候就碰上这样突发奇想的人,也真没办法。实在够狠。
很多人总是把“寒门难出贵子”视作一种极大的不公 包括最热门评论里提到的 任志强他爸爸不是商务部副部长的话 他不会取得这么大成就 在我看来这不是一句巨大的正确的废话? 这和你不去健身房就不会有好身材不做够前戏就不会有愉悦的性体验有什么区别? 家庭难道不是一个人...
评分记得以前有次晚上打的,和司机聊天,司机挺年轻,开车不少年了,他看上去很疲累,说自己白天睡觉,晚上交班,作息和一般人相反,我问他晚上可以拉到活吗,他说可以,尤其是深夜酒吧旁边总有不少人。他说做司机很辛苦,自己也不想做了,但是没有办法,太累,没有时间和精力去学...
