They are retreating to gated communities in record numbers, fearing for their jobs and their 401(k)s, nervous about their health insurance and their debt levels, worrying about terrorist attacks and immigrants. In this innovative volume, editors Hugh Gusterson and Catherine Besteman gather essays from nineteen leading ethnographers to create a unique portrait of an anxious country and to furnish valuable insights into the nation's possible future. With an incisive foreword by Barbara Ehrenreich, the contributors draw on their deep knowledge of different facets of American life to map the impact of the new economy, the "war on terror," the "war on drugs," racial resentments, a fraying safety net, undocumented immigration, a health care system in crisis, and much more. In laying out a range of views on the forces that unsettle us, The Insecure American demonstrates the singular power of an anthropological perspective for grasping the impact of corporate profit on democratic life, charting the links between policy and vulnerability, and envisioning alternatives to life as an insecure American. 606 $aSecurity (Psychology)$zUnited States 606 $aNationalism$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y21st century 607 $aUnited States$xSocial conditions$y21st century 610 $aamerican culture. 610 $aamerican life. 610 $aamerican society. 610 $aamericans. 610 $aanthropology. 610 $aanxious. 610 $adebt levels. 610 $adrug addiction. 610 $aethnography. 610 $agated communities. 610 $ahealth care system. 610 $ahealth insurance. 610 $aimmigration. 610 $ainsecure america. 610 $ainsecurity. 610 $ajob uncertainty. 610 $amoney. 610 $aneoliberalism. 610 $anew economy. 610 $apolicy. 610 $apolitics. 610 $apoverty. 610 $apunitive governance. 610 $arace in america. 610 $aracial resentments. 610 $aracism. 610 $asafety net. 610 $aterrorism. 610 $aterrorist attacks. 610 $aundocumented immigration. 610 $aunited states of america. 610 $avulnerability. 610 $awal mart. 610 $awar on drugs. 610 $awar on terror. 610 $awarmaking. 615 0$aSecurity (Psychology) 615 0$aNationalism 676 $a973.93 701 $aGusterson$b Hugh$01542330 701 $aBesteman$b Catherine Lowe$0985445 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789999503321 996 $aThe insecure American$93850873 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03133oas 2201069 a 450 001 9910132882603321 005 20251105213014.0 011 $a1469-218X 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB1466482-3 035 $a(DE-599)1466482-3 035 $a(OCoLC)45245328 035 $a(CONSER) 00227344 035 $a(CKB)954925334700 035 $a(EXLCZ)99954925334700 100 $a20001027a19869999 sy a 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aContinuity and change 210 $a[Cambridge, England] $cCambridge University Press 215 $a1 online resource 300 $aRefereed/Peer-reviewed 311 08$a0268-4160 606 $aHistorical sociology$vPeriodicals 606 $aSociological jurisprudence$vPeriodicals 606 $aDemography$vPeriodicals 606 $aSocial history$vPeriodicals 606 $aSociologie historique$vPe?riodiques 606 $aSociologie juridique$vPe?riodiques 606 $aDe?mographie$vPe?riodiques 606 $aHistoire sociale$vPe?riodiques 606 $a15.00 history: general$3(NL-LeOCL)077599349$2bcl 606 $a70.01 history of the social sciences$3(NL-LeOCL)077601181$2bcl 606 $a86.10 history of law, law of different countries, areas and peoples$3(NL-LeOCL)077607821$2bcl 606 $aDemography$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00890158 606 $aHistorical sociology$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00958210 606 $aSocial history$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01122498 606 $aSociological jurisprudence$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01123856 606 $aSociale geschiedenis$2gtt 606 $aRechtsgeschiedenis (wetenschap)$2gtt 608 $aPeriodicals.$2fast 608 $aPeriodicals.$2lcgft 615 0$aHistorical sociology 615 0$aSociological jurisprudence 615 0$aDemography 615 0$aSocial history 615 6$aSociologie historique 615 6$aSociologie juridique 615 6$aDe?mographie 615 6$aHistoire sociale 615 7$a15.00 history: general. 615 7$a70.01 history of the social sciences. 615 7$a86.10 history of law, law of different countries, areas and peoples. 615 7$aDemography. 615 7$aHistorical sociology. 615 7$aSocial history. 615 7$aSociological jurisprudence. 615 17$aSociale geschiedenis. 615 17$aRechtsgeschiedenis (wetenschap) 801 0$bEYM 801 1$bEYM 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bEQO 801 2$bNLGGC 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCF 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bRCE 801 2$bOCL 801 2$bAU@ 801 2$bVT2 801 2$bL2U 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bDLC 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bUAB 801 2$bQGK 801 2$bAUD 801 2$bUBY 801 2$bU3W 801 2$bCSU 801 2$bLND 801 2$bLIP 801 2$bOCLCL 801 2$bOCLCQ 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a9910132882603321 996 $aContinuity and change$9797375 997 $aUNINA
