Softcover. Condition: new. The New York Times bestselling work of undercover reportage from our sharpest and most original social critic, with a new foreword by Matthew Desmond, author of EvictedMillions 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 intend 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. And now, in a new foreword, Matthew Desmond, author of Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City, explains why, twenty years on in America, Nickel and Dimed is more relevant than ever.

Book First Edition
Condition: Sehr gut. Deutsche Erstausgabe. 253 (3) Seiten. 21,4 cm. Umschlaggestaltung: Michael Keller. Sehr guter Zustand. - Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America (Deutsche Ausgabe: Arbeit poor. Unterwegs in der Dienstleistungsgesellschaft) ist ein Buch der investigativen Journalistin Barbara Ehrenreich. Ziel des Buches ist es unter anderem die Auswirkungen der Reform der US-amerikanischen Sozialgesetzgebung von 1996 auf das Leben der sogenannten Working Poor in Amerika zu erforschen. Die Undercover-Recherchen, von denen im Buch berichtet wird, fanden zwischen Frühling 1998 und Sommer 2000 statt. Das Buch wurde 2001 von Metropolitan Books veröffentlicht. Ein Vorabdruck erschien 1999 im Harper's Magazine". Handlung des Buches: Es handelt sich nicht um einen Erlebnisbericht, sondern um investigativen Journalismus a la Günter Wallraff. Ehrenreich, eine Journalistin mit Mittelschicht-Hintergrund, beschloss für einige Monate im Selbsttest das Alltagsleben der Working Poor" zu erkunden. Ihren Universitäts-Abschluss verheimlichte sie gegenüber ihren Arbeitgebern. Am Anfang des Experimentes besaß sie 1300 $ und ein Auto. Ehrenreich zog nach Key West, Florida. Sie nahm - wie die real Betroffenen - Arbeit als Kellnerin in zwei Restaurants gleichzeitig an, da der Verdienst nur so zum Lebensunterhalt reichte. Für einen weiteren Testfall zog sie um nach Portland, Maine. Nach vier Tagen Arbeitssuche hatte Ehrenreich zwei neue Jobs. Sie war nun Assistentin in einem Pflegeheim und außerdem arbeitete sie für eine Gebäudereinigungsfirma. Für einen dritten Einsatz zog sie nach Minneapolis, Minnesota, wo sie für einige Wochen bei Wal-Mart einen gering bezahlten Job übernahm. Danach beendete sie ihr Experiment. Als Bilanz stellte sie fest, dass es ihr nicht gelungen war, von den Einkünften ihrer Jobs ihren Lebensunterhalt zu bestreiten. Soziale Probleme: Ehrenreich will mit ihrem Buch auf soziale Probleme der US-amerikanischen Gesellschaft hinweisen. Sie beschreibt die Arbeit in den Jobs der Working Poor als strapaziös, uninteressant und degradierend. Sie wendet sich gegen Persönlichkeitstest und Drogentests, denen in den USA viele Jobbewerber unterzogen werden. Diese seien degradierend und würden gegen die Bürgerrechte verstoßen. Ehrenreich hat mit ihren Recherchen nachgewiesen, dass ein Niedriglohn-Job in Amerika nicht ausreicht, um sich davon zu ernähren. Sie schreibt: Wenn jemand für weniger Lohn arbeitet, als er zum Leben braucht. hat er ein großes Opfer für Sie auf sich genommen. Die Working Poor sind in Wirklichkeit die Philanthropen unserer Gesellschaft. Sie vernachlässigen ihre eigenen Kinder, um sich um die von anderen zu kümmern. Sie leben in Substandard-Wohnungen, so dass die Wohnungen anderer Leute sauber und aufgeräumt sind. Sie nehmen Entbehrungen auf sich und dadurch ist die Inflation niedrig und die Aktienpreise sind hoch. . Aus: wikipedia-Nickel_and_Dimed. - Barbara Ehrenreich (* 26. August 1941 als Barbara Alexander in Butte, Montana, USA) ist eine bekannte US-amerikanische Sachbuch-Autorin und journalistische Kolumnistin. Leben: Barbara Alexander studierte Physik am Reed College, machte ihren Abschluss 1963. Fünf Jahre später schloss sie mit einer Doktorarbeit in Mikrobiologie an der Rockefeller University ihre naturwissenschaftliche akademische Karriere ab. Fortan arbeitete sie journalistisch, lehrte und widmete sich den Zeitläuften der 1968er entsprechend politischen Themen. Ihren ersten Ehemann, John Ehrenreich, lernte sie während einer Anti-Vietnam-Krieg-Kampagne kennen. Zwischen 1991 und 1997 war Ehrenreich eine beständige Kolumnistin des Nachrichtenmagazins Time. Gegenwärtig schreibt sie regelmäßig eine Kolumne für The Progressive. Journalistisch war Ehrenreich häufig tätig für die New York Times, Mother Jones, The Atlantic Monthly, Ms., The New Republic, Salon-com, und weitere. In den Jahren 1998 und 2000 hatte sie Lehraufträge für Essay-Schreiben an der Journalistenschule Graduate School of Journalism an der University of California in Berkeley. In den Folgejahren veröffentlichte sie mehrere Sachbücher, die Aufsehen erregten. Als investigative Journalistin recherchierte sie jeweils monatelang mit Undercover-Identitäten die Bewerbungslage und Arbeitswelt der McJobs und der mittleren Angestellten in den USA. Im Jahr 2006 gründete Ehrenreich United Professionals. Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 465 Roter Pappband mit Schutzumschlag.
