Newman's message is clear and timely.\" --The Philadelphia InquirerIn No Shame in My Game, Harvard anthropologist Katherine Newman gives voice to a population for whom work, family, and self-esteem are top priorities despite all the factors that make earning a living next to impossible--minimum wage, lack of child care and health care, and a desperate shortage of even low-paying jobs. By intimately following the lives of nearly 300 inner-city workers and job seekers for two yearsin Harlem, Newman explores a side of poverty often ignored by media and politicians--the working poor.The working poor find dignity in earning a paycheck and shunning the welfare system, arguing that even low-paying jobs give order to their lives. No Shame in My Game gives voice to a misrepresented segment of today's society, and is sure to spark dialogue over the issues surrounding poverty, working and welfare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003enonfiction | urban | Sociality | poverty | working poor\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51824390177056,"sku":"NEW0375703799","price":17.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/714FVdRPRvL.jpg?v=1781211400","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/no-shame-in-my-game-the-working-poor-in-the-inner-city-0375703799","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
