This book traces the narrative strategies framing austerity
policies through an illuminating analysis of policy documents and
political discourses, exposing the political consequences for
women, racialized minorities and disabled people. While many have
critiqued the ways in which austerity has captured the contemporary
political narrative, this is the first book to systematically
examine how these narratives work to shift the terms within which
policy debates about inequality and difference play out. Gedalof's
exceptional readings of these texts pay close attention to the
formal qualities of these narratives: the chronologies they impose,
their articulation of crisis and resolution, the points of view
they construct and the affective registers they deploy. In this
manner she argues persuasively that the differences of gender,
race, ethnicity and disability have been stitched into the fabric
of austerity as excesses that must be disavowed, as reproductive
burdens that are too great for the austere state to bear. This
innovative, intersectional analysis will appeal to students and
scholars of social policy, gender studies, politics and public
policy.
