"'Race' and 'class' have circled around each other for the past ten years without yet producing a convincing dialectical synthesis. "American Hungers" is the most intense, impassioned, and--in sum--important attempt to produce such a synthesis that I know of. While its prose and the general shape of its arguments are crystal clear, it is a demanding book in the best sense, a call to literary and cultural criticism to see things differently."--Mark McGurl, UCLA
Argues that poverty has been denied its due as a critical and ideological framework in its own right, despite interest in representations of the lower classes and the marginalized.
