Living On The Edge Av Celine-marie Pascale

<p>For the majority of Americans, hard times have long been a way of life. Some work multiple low-wage jobs, others face the squeeze of stagnant wages and rising costs of living. Sociologist Celine-Marie Pascale talked with people across Appalachia, at the Standing Rock and Wind River reservations, and in the bustling city of Oakland, California. Their voices offer a wide range of experiences that complicate dominant national narratives about economic struggles.</p><p>Yet <i>Living on the Edge</i> is about more than individual experiences. It''s about a nation in a deep economic and moral crisis. It¿s about the long-standing collusion between government and corporations that prioritizes profits over people, over the environment, and over the nation''s well-being. It''s about how racism, sexism, violence, and the pandemic shape daily experience in struggling communities. And, ultimately, it''s a book about hope that lays out a vision for the future as honest as it is ambitious.</p><p>Mo
