Pugh successfully weaves together short quotes and stories, creating an intimate connection between the reader and her participants, and since she has 80 interviews, there is rich variation. One of the remarkable strengths of the book lies in Pugh's ability to consider a complex set of interlinking characteristics of her interviewees and generalize from them.

Aliya Hamid Rao. Review "Allison Pugh has written a thoughtful book on the realities of working and family life in the contemporary United States, and it is a wistful book without being nostalgic Pugh has provided a gripping, if depressing, portrayal of the ways the realities of work today affect our emotional lives and our family commitments. The book is only more relevant now that we are in the Trump era The Tumbleweed Society foregrounds the intimate-the work and family lives of women and men navigating this landscape-but Pugh's thoughtful analysis connects their stories and discourse to these broader concerns. It's also a riveting read, rich with fascinating human stories. Or does it, as Allison Pugh asks in this brilliantly illuminating book, influence how we address the possibility of grievous disappointment in intimate life too? Do we hedge our bets in love and work, or trustingly sacrifice in one or both realms, and risk feeling betrayed when a contract turns out to be 'unrequited'?
The reader will find eye-opening answers on this central issue of our age. But people have adapted to insecurity differently, depending on whether they are stably employed, have been laid off, or had to relocate. The Tumbleweed Society vividly describes the diversity of experiences that characterize the new era of precarity through the voices of those who have experienced a variety of work arrangements and family formations. Kalleberg, Kenan Distinguished Professor of Sociology, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill "Sociologist Pugh tries to connect the "two whirlwinds" of job insecurity and marital insecurity. She interviewed 88 parents of teenagers, mostly women, representing highly educated job changers, moderately educated job losers, and the moderately educated stably employed.
Those at the top have the privilege of choice, riding the fluid economy for better opportunities. At the same time, they build a "moral wall" of stability around their marriages. Pugh successfully weaves together short quotes and stories, creating an intimate connection between the reader and her participants, and since she has 80 interviews, there is rich variation. One of the remarkable strengths of the book lies in Pugh's ability to consider a complex set of interlinking characteristics of her interviewees and generalize from them. Allison J. Pugh is Professor of Sociology at the University of Virginia. Her book Longing and Belonging: Parents, Children, and Consumer Culture won the William J.

I believe the failure of the American dream the notion that if you work hard, you will succeed and be rewarded with a good job with a loyal employer and the benefits of employment such as a home, a dog and a spouse has a direct impact on the volatility of our ability to be in intimate relationships, and this book examines that viewpoint with real stories and examples of how employment uncertainty affects relationship uncertainty.
It is an interesting dynamic that is certain to become more of an issue as globalism and the hiring of only contingent workers increases. Vine Customer Review of Free Product What's this? Author Allison J. Pugh interviewed eighty parents: 33 of whom experienced layoffs; 32 who are currently in stable professions; and 20 who had to move as a result of theirs' or their spouse's job being relocated. There was category overlap with some of the subjects. The subjects are described as "mostly white women with some college," but there are men and people of color interviewed, as well. The subjects came from the Washington, D. area, as well as Virginia and two large coastal cities. Their thoughts on the subject are interwoven with insights from the author on the current state of American society. The author found that there is a marked difference unsurprisingly between how people with job security and people without it view their jobs, and by extension, their personal lives.
Those who fall in the latter category, for example, tend to have what she calls a "one way honor system," meaning that they hold themselves professionally lo certain standards while expecting nothing in the way of job stability from their employers. In contrast, people with relative job security often maintain a pragmatic approach to their marriages and families, being willing to "settle" for a less than ideal situation. Interestingly, people who experience little job security, can wind up pushing themselves to what many would consider heroic standards to care for their family members. At the same time, however, even people with very little job security can and do make decisions in their personal lives that put them in the position of doing the choosing.
One woman interviewed who had had money troubles with her first husband, decided after her second marriage, to keep separate financial accounts. The author also examines the way people describe their professional and personal lives, including the use of humor. My own conclusion was that humor is simply more socially acceptable in the US when it comes to discussing such sensitive subjects with a stranger than "whining" about one's problems, but the author puts this all a lot more sophisticatedly than I could. As the author points out, other countries have done a better job of addressing the current, instable global economy and its impact on their citizens. However, the United States in the author's opinion is lagging far behind. In the afterword, Pugh states that it would be helpful to the people currently adrift in this "tumbleweed society" to have a conversation about what employers and employees owe each other.
This book goes a long way to getting such a conversation started. Five stars for insight; four for execution. There seemed to be some repetition, and at times, I found it easy to lose the thread of what was being discussed. However, "The Tumbleweed Society," is overall a thought-provoking read about a timely topic. This is an important book. The change in work life in American life is dramatic. And it's disruptive. You may have to move, it takes time to learn the new job, the new people, the new territory, the new politics. This kind of insecurity is now rampant--most people under forty have a resume with many two- or three- year positions. And when you get over forty, it's precarious.
You may not get hired again. Individuals born from to held an average of These are the "Baby Boomers.
In The Tumbleweed Society , Allison Pugh offers a moving exploration of sacrifice, betrayal, defiance, and resignation, as people cope in a society where relationships and jobs seem to change constantly. Based on eighty in-depth interviews with parents who have varied experiences of job insecurity and socio-economic status, Pugh finds most seem to accept job insecurity as inevitable but still try to bar that insecurity from infiltrating their home lives. Rigid expectations for enduring connections and uncompromising loyalty in their intimate relationships, however, can put intolerable strain on them, often sparking instability in the very social ties they yearn to protect. By shining a light on how we prepare ourselves and our children for an uncertain environment, Pugh gives us a detailed portrait of how we compel ourselves to adapt emotionally to a churning economy, and what commitment and obligation mean in an insecure age.
