For the majority of Americans, hard times have long been a way of life. Some work multiple lowwage jobs, others face the squeeze of stagnant wages and rising costs of living. Sociologist CelineMarie 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.Yet Living on the Edge is about more than individual experiences. Its about a nation in a deep economic and moral crisis. It? about the longstanding collusion between government and corporations that prioritizes profits over people, over the environment, and over the nations wellbeing. Its about how racism, sexism, violence, and the pandemic shape daily experience in struggling communities. And, ultimately, its a book about hope that lays out a vision for the future as honest as it is ambitious.Most people in the book are not progressives; none are radicals. Theyre hardworking people who know from experience that the current system is unsustainable. Across the country people described the need for a living wage, accessible health care, immigration reform, and free education. Their voices are worth listening to.
