This book analyzes the discourse generated by pundits, politicians,
and artists to examine how poverty and the income gap is framed
through specific modes of representation. Set against the dichotomy
of the structural narrative of poverty and the opportunity
narrative, Lemke's modified concept of precarity reveals new
insights into the American situation as well as into the textuality
of contemporary demands for equity. Her acute study of a vast range
of artistic and journalistic texts brings attention to a mode of
representation that is itself precarious, both in the modern and
etymological sense, denoting both insecurity and entreaty. With the
keen eye of a cultural studies scholar her innovative book makes a
necessary contribution to academic and popular critiques of the
social effects of neoliberal capitalism.
