圖書描述

Our sharpest and most original social critic goes "undercover" as an unskilled worker to reveal the dark side of American prosperity.

Millions of Americans work full time, year round, for poverty-level wages. In 1998, Barbara Ehrenreich decided to join them. She was inspired in part by the rhetoric surrounding welfare reform, which promised that a job -- any job -- can be the ticket to a better life. But how does anyone survive, let alone prosper, on $6 an hour? To find out, Ehrenreich left her home, took the cheapest lodgings she could find, and accepted whatever jobs she was offered. Moving from Florida to Maine to Minnesota, she worked as a waitress, a hotel maid, a cleaning woman, a nursing-home aide, and a Wal-Mart sales clerk. She lived in trailer parks and crumbling residential motels. Very quickly, she discovered that no job is truly "unskilled," that even the lowliest occupations require exhausting mental and muscular effort. She also learned that one job is not enough; you need at least two if you int to live indoors.

Nickel and Dimed reveals low-rent America in all its tenacity, anxiety, and surprising generosity -- a land of Big Boxes, fast food, and a thousand desperate stratagems for survival. Read it for the smoldering clarity of Ehrenreich's perspective and for a rare view of how "prosperity" looks from the bottom. You will never see anything -- from a motel bathroom to a restaurant meal -- in quite the same way again.

著者簡介

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'"

She lives near Key West, Florida.

But lapham got this crazy-looking half smile on his face and ended life as I knew it, for long stretches at least, with the single word "you." 這本書的開頭告訴我們一個真理“no zuo no die, you zuo you die”XDDD。具體的內容還在研讀中

在飛機上看書時,旁邊的美國大媽跟我說雖然距離這本書第一次齣版已經幾十年瞭,但是書裏麵描寫的美國藍領們的生活不僅沒有改善,反而變得更差。現在很期待下學年老師要怎麼來討論這“物價飛漲但是工資不變”的現象。

The first thing I discovered is that no job, no mater how lowly, is truly 'unskilled'. Most of them do needs concentration. Only here every bite must be paid for ,one way or another ,in human discomfort. The face of low-paid society is that 'you give and you give'.

大一上专业课的时候,有位讲师貌似简略提起过这本书,所以在网上碰巧遇到时就下单购买了。具体是不是这本书我也不是很清楚,但即使不是,内容也是相似的,起码讨论的话题有交叠。 读书最忌囫囵吞枣,而合上书本以后,我陷入思考,不想“浪费”,于是写下此文记录自己不成熟的看...

有意思,文中美元换成人民币就是前几年我在二线城市的收入和消费水平,简直一模一样! 10年我在沃尔玛工作,时薪是7.5元。一个月加满班230个小时(规定加班不能超过50小时好像),这样一个月扣去社保到手就只有1400元不到。离市区近的地方出租的小隔间(十平不到) 一个月房租 ...

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...

书就是书名所说的,我在底层的生活。 “我”, 芭芭拉,美国畅销书作者,生活水平属于上游20%的人。有天在一个颇为奢华的法式乡村风饭店跟《哈泼》杂志的编辑讨论未来可以替他们写什么文章,当话题转到贫穷时,说了一句“实在应该有人去做一些老式的新闻调查工作,就是自己实...
