-Titulo Original : Hand To Mouth Living In Bootstrap America
-Fabricante :
Berkley
-Descripcion Original:
Review The woman who accidentally explained poverty to the nation. -The Huffington Post“[A] whipsmart woman’s firsthand account of what it looks and smells and tastes and feels like to be living in poverty …brilliant and to the point. You won’t soon forget her voice or her message.” -Entertainment Weekly“Funny, sarcastic, full of expletives, and most of all outrageously honest. . . . Tirado has a way with words that’s somehow both breezy and blunt.” -BusinessWeek“In this riveting memoir, Tirado shares in vivid detail what its like to be a college graduate in the throes of poverty.” -Women’s Health MagazineMust-read...powerful. -Good Housekeeping“Educative . . . Tirado’s raw reportage offers solidarity for those on the front lines of hardship yet issues a cautionary forewarning to the critical: ‘Poverty is a potential outcome for all of us.’ Outspoken and vindictive, Tirado embodies the cyclical vortex of today’s struggle to survive.” -Kirkus Reviews“Tirado tells it like it is… Enthralling and horrifying, this should be required reading for policymakers.”-Booklist, starred review“In Hand to Mouth, [Tirado] uses her piercing insight, coupled with a confessional but unrepentant voice, to open a nuanced and deeply unsettling window into poverty in the U.S.” -Ms. Magazine“This book should inspire important discussion.” -Library Journal“The great thing about writing is that it doesn’t discriminate, with regard to race or gender or anything, class included. Being rich and advantaged doesn’t mean you won’t be cruelly exposed on paper as a pompous fraud. Conversely, if you write well, being broke and tired won’t prevent your talent and mental clarity from shining through. Linda Tirado is just a terrific writer. There’s a crucial passage in Hand to Mouth where Linda asks why we all can’t at least just agree that someone has to do the grunt work, and that there’s dignity in that, too. With this strong and unembarrassed account of her life on the edges of poverty Linda single-handedly re-takes some of the dignity that has been stripped from people without means in this singularly greed-dominated, most mean-spirited generation in America’s history. Honesty has its own power and this is a most honest book. Everyone who thinks things are just fine in this country should read it.” -Matt Taibbi, New York Times bestselling authorLinda Tirado tells it like it is for tens of millions of Americas low-wage workers-a group thats growing even as Americas billionaires rake in ever more of the nations total income and wealth. The top hedge-fund partner got $3.5 billion in 2013. That came to $1,750,000 an hour. Yet somehow we cant even raise the minimum wage. Read what Linda has to say and youll understand its not because Linda or other low-wage workers somehow deserve to be treated this way any more than the $3.5 billion hedge-fund deserves his pay. The game is rigged and we must un-rig it. -Robert B. Reich, former U.S. Secretary of Labor, national bestselling author of Aftershock“When our economy and our democracy are both broken, the story Linda Tirado writes here is simply known as real life for millions of Americans who are going broke every day and feel ignored by our government. Every American deserves an equal seat at the table in the halls of power and a wage that can put food on the dinner table. Hand to Mouth should serve as a red flag to the politicians in Washington and the millionaires on Wall Street, this is why we the people are mad as hell, and we’re not going to take it anymore.” -Cenk Uygur, Host of The Young Turks ( tytnetwork )“For those who have never had the experience, Tirado’s book allows you to hear, smell, taste, feel and visualize life as a minimum wage worker. It also leaves you with two inescapable conclusions. First, poverty can happen to anyone-even if you are born into the middle class. Second, you can educate people until you are blue in the face, but as long as there are jobs that require swee
