Consumption of Inequality, The: Weapons of Mass Distraction


Add your own review!

Overview

The fads, fashions, and media in popular consumer culture frequently make recreational and ideological fun of poverty and lower class living. It is a phenomenon that puts poor whites, poor blacks, women, gays, handicapped people, and other traditional minorities back in their place by prioritizing self-aggrandizing materialism and individual desires over the collective good and constitutes a form of cultural denial. In this book, Halnon delineates how incarceration, segregation, stigmatization, cultural and social consecration, and carnivalization work in the production and consumption of inequality.
