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'"
少一顆星是因為作者沒有(或許不敢)提齣解決問題的建議,當然這也不是她(生物學博士)的專項。這本書齣版的時候,有多少人注意到瞭社會分化的問題?所以不要糾結這本書的學術性瞭,寫成專著有誰會看呢?
評分看不下去
評分跳著看完瞭1/4 作者不是個有趣的人所以書中打趣也不趣.. Trump當選真是the poor & quiet對社會的有力revenge.. 覺諷刺
評分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.
評分前幾章看的中文,後來國內還沒齣譯文版看瞭兩章英文版(在緬因當清潔工前),剩下的部分拖到前兩年去聽作者講座時都沒看完。。。直到這幾天開長途纔聽完。書很好,將近二十年前的對美國底層人民的人類學觀察。但不推薦audible,聲音單調得讓人昏昏欲睡,不是旅途良伴。
在准备GT考试时,读了许多励志文章,作者都描写自己准备考试的不易最后终于通过的故事,看了太多,这都让我对自己产生了一种感动,一种我在受难但结果将会是值得的感动,升华到认为经历苦难是有价值的,只要你努力了,一定会获得回报。我甚至会假想自己在异国他乡遭遇许多不顺...

評分先得说一句,这本书不知道是否是翻译的原因,言语不够流畅,而作者的原文,絮絮叨叨的废话也太多,但是这本书我依然推荐大家一读。 美国专栏作家芭芭拉·艾伦瑞克在1998年,为了体验底层美国人民的生活,选择了六个地方,在不同的城市去打工。 为了确保她能真实体验当地底层...
