But as in many American cities, poverty and penury are booming along with wealth and material abundance in contemporary Austin. Rich and poor residents lead increasingly separate lives as growing socioeconomic inequality underscores residential, class, racial, and ethnic segregation. In Invisible in Austin, the award-winning sociologist Javier Auyero and a team of graduate students explore the lives of those working at the bottom of the social order: house cleaners, office-machine repairers, cab drivers, restaurant cooks and dishwashers, exotic dancers, musicians, and roofers, among others. Recounting their subjects? life stories with empathy and sociological insight, the authors show us how these lives are driven by a complex mix of individual and social forces. These poignant stories compel us to see how poor people who provide indispensable services for all city residents struggle daily with substandard housing, inadequate public services and schools, and environmental risks. Timely and essential reading, Invisible in Austin makes visible the growing gap between rich and poor that is reconfiguring the cityscape of one of America?s most dynamic places, as low-wage workers are forced to the social and symbolic margins. 606 $aMarginality, Social$zTexas$zAustin 606 $aPoor$zTexas$zAustin 606 $aMinorities$zTexas$zAustin 607 $aAustin (Tex.)$xSocial conditions 607 $aAustin (Tex.)$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aMarginality, Social 615 0$aPoor 615 0$aMinorities 676 $a976.4/31 702 $aAuyero$b Javier 702 $aWacquant$b Loi?c 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826030403321 996 $aInvisible in Austin$94102551 997 $aUNINA
