The consumption of inequality :weapons of mass distraction /by Karen Bettez Halnon. - 1 online resource.

Includes index.

Introduction: Weapons of Mass Distraction -- 1. Financial Crisis, Ideology, and Alienation -- 2. Critiquing Postmodernist Zeitgeist -- 3. Prison Chic -- 4. Black Ghetto Cool -- 5. White Trash Stigma -- 6. Super Trash Spectacles -- 7. Blue Collar Vogue -- 8. Redneck and Blue Collar Comedy -- Conclusion: Tourists, Victims, and Deadening Others.

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.
