Conclusion. . 330 $a"Andrew Manno presents a rigorous and compelling case for the profound relationship between poker and contemporary culture. Toxic Masculinity, Casino Capitalism, and America?s Favorite Card Game: The Poker Mindset argues that the practices and attitudes rewarded in poker are being adopted more broadly with troubling results. Building on the work of researchers like Christopher Paul and Anastasia Salter and Bridget Blodgett, this book is a vital interrogation of poker as cultural form and an essential contribution to game studies." -- Carly A. Kocurek, author of Coin-Operated Americans: Rebooting Boyhood at the Video Game Arcade ?In the 1960s, the renowned sociologist Erving Goffman argued that casino gambling offered men an opportunity to break from the bureaucratized homogeneity of their daily routines and demonstrate character, courage, and composure in the face of risk. In Manno's troubling sequel to this story, the game of poker has risen to national prominence and serves as an arena in which anxious men working in a precarious economy can practice bullying, bluffing, and aggressive self-interest ? the very values at stake in contemporary capitalism and the wider culture of toxic masculinity.? --Natasha Schüll, author of Addiction by Design: Machine Gambling in Las Vegas Poker is a centuries-old American game. Why has it become so popular in the twenty-first century? What does current interest in the game tell us about ourselves and some of our most pressing social issues? In this timely and thought-provoking book, Andrew Manno offers important insights into the intersection of gaming, gender, and capitalism that illuminate how the shift to a casino capitalist economy?combined with a culture of toxic masculinity?impacts workers and how it has led to the rise of populism in the United States that manifested in the 2016 election of Donald Trump. Andrew Manno, Ph.D. is a Professor of English at Raritan Valley Community College in New Jersey. 606 $aCulture 606 $aGender 606 $aPopular Culture 606 $aUnited States?Study and teaching 606 $aMen 606 $aCulture?Economic aspects 606 $aCulture and Gender$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411210 606 $aPopular Culture $3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411170 606 $aAmerican Culture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411010 606 $aMen's Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35030 606 $aGender and Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W51010 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aGender. 615 0$aPopular Culture. 615 0$aUnited States?Study and teaching. 615 0$aMen. 615 0$aCulture?Economic aspects. 615 14$aCulture and Gender. 615 24$aPopular Culture . 615 24$aAmerican Culture. 615 24$aMen's Studies. 615 24$aGender and Economics. 676 $a155.332 700 $aManno$b Andrew$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0991417 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484091903321 996 $aToxic Masculinity, Casino Capitalism, and America's Favorite Card Game$92268926 997 $aUNINA
